Week 8, Day 2 Posted February 24, 2004 at 12:00 am

We counted beads and flipped coins in 4000 recitation as a lesson in statistical sampling. Even so, it felt a little juvenile. Titus and I ate at Rocky Mountain Pizza for a change after having Dino’s yesterday.

I spent much of the evening working with C++ and struggling with virtual functions and polymorphism. I’ve created an abstract base class and I want to be able to access derived classes using virtual methods declared in the base class and defined in the derived classes. Suffice it to say that the actual implementation has caused me no end of headaches.
