10.7 Programming Activity 2: Using Polymorphism
In this Programming Activity, you will complete the implementation of the Tortoise and the Hare race. The Tortoise runs a slow and steady race, while the Hare runs in spurts with rests in between. Figure 10.14 shows a sample run of the race. In this figure, we show only one tortoise and one hare; however, using polymorphism we can easily run the race with any number and combination of tortoises and hares.
