casting is not working please help

[Sarmadas]

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
class base{
public:
	void print(){cout<<"I'm Base"<<endl;}


};
class drived:public base{
public:
	void print(){cout<<"I'm Drived"<<endl;}


};

int main()
{
	base* b ;
	drived* d= new drived;
	b = d;
	b = static_cast<drived*>(b);
	
	b->print();
	_getch();
}

at line number 24 the print method of base class is called instead of drived class

The type of b is base even after the casting. So function print of base class will be called.
I think you meant something as

drived *d2 = static_cast<drived*>(b);
d2->print();
