I have a base class called TextBuffer, and I have two other classes that extend it, via inhertiance and all that jazz.

In my client program I have a vector container that stores TextBuffer objects.

I plan to research assignment operator overloading to add the functionality for converting a TextBuffer object to a Rotation object.

I would imagine I can do this easily enough. But Do I even have to? Would it be inherent that the default operator for assignemtn in derived classes already knows what to do?

Regardless, a bigger question is will my TextBuffer vector container (vector<TextBuffer> theBuffers be able to hold objects, that while may be differant from each other, still are, or are at least derived from a base class?

Please Assist Thank you.

A class can be referred to as its base class, this is how polymorphism works.
As for your other question, i don't understand what you are asking;(
