left part of '=' declares reference to the class (animal in this case) while the right part allocates memory using 'new' keyword for that object of respective class (dog and cat in this case)

Dog is a dog object, cat is a cat object, they're just referencing the Animal Class.

Cat and Dog classes are subclasses of the class Animal.

Fill in the blanks to declare ''Dog'' and ''Cat'' objects, and two ''Pet'' pointers pointing to the ''Dog'' object and the ''Cat'' objects, respectively. answer Dog dogObj; Cat catObj; Pet * pet1 = & dogObj; Pet* pet2 = & catObj;

Animal is the super that's why u see this right. In your sentence, subclass of Dog and Cat are trying to cast to Animal(Super Class). Because these two have every methods and variables that super class has(except which are declared with private modifier), it's possible to cast implicitly. Otherwise, if u try to cast Animal(Super class) to subclass, you must cast it explicitly. For example, Animal a = new Dog(); // It's right Dog b = new Animal(); // It will throw wrong Dog b = (Dog)new Animal(); // But it is right Because super class won't have every methods and variables that its subclasses have.

Fill in the blanks to declare a ''Person'' class, with the ''hello()'' virtual function, and then declare a ''Student'' class that inherits from the ''Person'' class and overrides its ''hello()'' virtual function. Answer: class Person { public: virtual void hello() { cout << "Person says hello"; } }; class student: public person { public: void hello() { cout << "Student says hello"; } };
