stack with menu option

bubbles102289 (9)
Write your question here This is my program that convert an inflix expression to an postfix and prefix form and it run okay but im having trouble how to put a menu option like this

A]Prefixform
B]Postfixform
c]enter another expressio
d]exit


#include <iostream>

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void showMenu();
char getChoice();

int main()
{
  bool quit = false;

  while (!quit)
  {
    showMenu();
    char ch = getChoice();
    switch(ch)
    {
      case 'A': 
        // handle choice A
        break;
      case 'B':
        // handle choice B
        break;
      case 'C':
        // handle choice C
        break;
      case 'D':
        quit = true;
        break;
    }
  }
  
  system("pause");
  return 0;
}

char getChoice()
{
  cout << "\nEnter choice: ";
  char ch;
  cin >> ch;
  cin.ignore(255, '\n');

  return toupper(ch);
}

void showMenu()
{
  cout << "\nA\tPrefixform";
  cout << "\nB\tPostfixform";
  cout << "\nC\tAnother expression";
  cout << "\nD\tExit";
}


Inside the switch statement replace the // handle choice A with a call to the proper function.

I tried to write a more flexible menu and stumbled in virtuality problems, maybe someone can lend me a hand or something in that way to find the way out...

First I created for each task a class which are derived from a base class.
Then I stored all the instances into a map.
When I call "MenuBase::exec();" : always the exec of the base class is called!

I tried to fix the problem with defining the exec of the base class as pure virtual ( = 0;) but then I can not store the instances into the map.

mapMenu requires a [smart] pointer to TopicBase in order to use the inheritance. Otherwise you copy only the data of base class.

@Necip

First: You create dangling pointer.
Second: Did you hijack this thread?
closed account (48bpfSEw)
@coder777,

first: what is the difference between dangling and smart pointer?
second: no.



edit:
first: http://ootips.org/yonat/4dev/smart-pointers.html
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17997228/what-is-a-dangling-pointer


ok, now I can answer your first question :
Since the instances are within the scopes they are not dangled!
The objects are freed when the application is finished.



edit:
second: let us ask the founder of this thread bubbles102289, if my solution is for the wastebasket. If he/she says "thumbs down" I'll delete all my contributions in this thread.
