Title Body

Ok, bear with me guys and girls as I'm learning. Here's my question. I can't figure out why I can't override a method from a parent class. Here's the code from the base class (yes, I pilfered the java code from an OOP book and am trying to rewrite it in C#). using System; public class MoodyObject { protected String getMood() { return "moody"; } public void queryMood() { Console.WriteLine("I feel " + getMood() + " today!"); } } and here are my other 2 objects that inherit the base class (MoodyObject): using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { public class SadObject: MoodyObject { protected String getMood() { return "sad"; } //specialization public void cry() { Console.WriteLine("wah...boohoo"); } } } And: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { public class HappyObject: MoodyObject { protected String getMood() { return "happy"; } public void laugh() { Console.WriteLine("hehehehehehe."); } } } and here is my main: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { MoodyObject moodyObject = new MoodyObject(); SadObject sadObject = new SadObject(); HappyObject happyObject = new HappyObject(); Console.WriteLine("How does the moody object feel today?"); moodyObject.queryMood(); Console.WriteLine(""); Console.WriteLine("How does the sad object feel toda
