somebody please help me.please

[misvampire]

i need to add virtual function to my coding. somebody please help. whre should i put it

heres the code.
figure.h

//This is the header file figure.h. 
using std::cout;

class figure
{
      public:
             virtual void center();
             void draw();
             void erase();
};

void figure::center()
{
     cout << "Centering the Figure";
     cout << "\n";
     cout << "\n";

rectangle.h

//This is the header file rectangle.h. 
using std::cout;

class rectangle : public figure
{
      public : void erase();
               l void draw();
};


void rectangle::draw()

{
     cout << "Drawing rectangle";
}

void rectangle::erase()

{
     cout << "Erasing rectangle";
}

triangle.h

//This is the header file triangle.h.
using std::cout;

class triangle : public figure
{
      public :  void erase();
                void draw();
};


void triangle::draw()

{
     cout << "Drawing triangle";
}

void triangle::erase()

{
     cout << "Erasing triangle";
}

virtual.cpp

//This is the header file triangle.h.
using std::cout;

class triangle : public figure
{
      public : virtual void erase();
               virtual void draw();
};


void triangle::draw()

{
     cout << "Drawing triangle";
}

void triangle::erase()

{
     cout << "Erasing triangle";
}

please help me. asap. thankx in advance

The posts got messed up somehow so you have some truncated code, two triangle.h files, and no virtual.cpp function. Please repost using code tags

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/polymorphism/

This link has some decent examples of polymorphism and virtual functions. Code from link is pasted below.

// virtual members
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class CPolygon {
  protected:
    int width, height;
  public:
    void set_values (int a, int b)
      { width=a; height=b; }
    virtual int area ()
      { return (0); }
  };

class CRectangle: public CPolygon {
  public:
    int area ()
      { return (width * height); }
  };

class CTriangle: public CPolygon {
  public:
    int area ()
      { return (width * height / 2); }
  };

int main () {
  CRectangle rect;
  CTriangle trgl;
  CPolygon poly;
  CPolygon * ppoly1 = &rect;
  CPolygon * ppoly2 = &trgl;
  CPolygon * ppoly3 = &poly;
  ppoly1->set_values (4,5);
  ppoly2->set_values (4,5);
  ppoly3->set_values (4,5);
  cout << ppoly1->area() << endl;
  cout << ppoly2->area() << endl;
  cout << ppoly3->area() << endl;cin.get();
  return 0;
}

Int this class :

//This is the header file figure.h. 
using std::cout;

class figure
{
      public:
             virtual void center();
             void draw();
             void erase();
};

void figure::center()
{
     cout << "Centering the Figure";
     cout << "\n";
     cout << "\n";

You should make draw a virtual function because you each object that
derives from it, will have a different draw method. For example,
a rectangle that derives from figure will have a different draw method
than a circle or a sphere.
