trying to understand Inheritance, Polymorphism and templates

[sapropel]

ive been trying to understand Inheritance, Polymorphism and templates,
and so ive tried to make a test using all of those. it is about a base
class taht receives two params on the template and two derivies
class's that print those into console or into a file.

template <class T, class S> class Base{

protected:

T t;
S s;

public:

virtual void Print() = 0;
};
//prints to console
template <class T, class S> class Console : public Base{

public:

explicit Console( const T &t, const S &s ){

this->t = t;
this->s = s;
}
void Print(){

std::cout << this->t << " " << this->s << std::endl;
}
};
//prints to file
template <class T, class S> class File : public Base{

public:

explicit File( const T &t, const S &s ){

this->t = t;
this->s = s;
}

void Print(){

std::ofstream file( "teste.txt", std::ios::out );
file << this->t << " " << this->s << std::endl;
}
};

int main(){

Base <int, int> *b = new Console <int, int>( 2, 4 );
b->Print();
delete b;
return 0;
}

that doesnt work, case he says that he cannot convert Console<T,S>* to
Base<T,S>* so i must be doing something wrong.

another thing, is there a way to do this but only declaring the
template in the vase class? instead of declaring in all of them?

thanks.

Perhaps it has something to do with the way you inherited Console...

Not sure what you mean.
