    Hello everyone! I am need of assistance with creating a derived class. I have the following abstract base class:
    Code:
    class Field{
        public:
        virtual void display() = 0;
        virtual int edit() = 0;
        virtual bool editable() const = 0;
        virtual void *data() = 0;
        virtual Field *clone() const = 0;
    };
    I need to make a derived class with the following specification:
    This is how I have my derived class in my header file:
    Code:
    class LField : public Field{
        int row_loc, col_loc, width_tot, index;
        char *initval;
        bool edib;
        
        public:
            LField(int row, int col, int width);
            LField(int row, int col, int width, char *s);
            LField(int row, int col, int width, char *s, bool editable);
            void initialize(int r, int c, int w, bool e);
            ~LField();
            void display();
            int edit();
            bool editable() const;
            void *data();
            Field *clone() const;
            LField& operator = (const LField & rhs);
            LField(const LField & source );
    }
    This is what I have done so far:
    Code:
    LField::LField(int row, int col, int width){
        //Checks for valid coords
        if(row < 0){
            row = 0;
        }
        if(row > dtioRows()){
            row = dtioRows() - 1;
        }
        if(col < 0){
            col = 0;
        }
        if(col > dtioColumns()){
            col = dtioColumns() - 1;
        }
        //Checks for width and location
        if((col + width) > dtioColumns()){
            width = width - ((col + width) - dtioColumns());
        }
        
        initialize(row, col, width, true);
        initval = NULL;
    }
    LField::LField(int row, int col, int width, char *s){
        //Checks for valid coords
        if(row < 0){
            row = 0;
        }
        if(row > dtioRows()){
            row = dtioRows() - 1;
        }
        if(col < 0){
            col = 0;
        }
        if(col > dtioColumns()){
            col = dtioColumns() - 1;
        }
        //Checks for width and location
        if((col + width) > dtioColumns()){
            width = width - ((col + width) - dtioColumns());
        }
        initialize(row, col, width, true);
        if(strlen(s) > width){
            initval = new char[width];
            for(int i = 0; i < width; i++){
                initval[i] = s[i];
            }
        }
        else{
            initval = new char[strlen(s) + 1];
            strcpy(initval, s);
        }
        
    }
    LField::LField(int row, int col, int width, char *s, bool editable){
        //Checks for valid coords
        if(row < 0){
            row = 0;
        }
        if(row > dtioRows()){
            row = dtioRows() - 1;
        }
        if(col < 0){
            col = 0;
        }
        if(col > dtioColumns()){
            col = dtioColumns() - 1;
        }
        //Checks for width and location
        if((col + width) > dtioColumns()){
            width = width - ((col + width) - dtioColumns());
        }
        initialize(row, col, width, editable);
        if(strlen(s) > width){
            initval = new char[width];
            for(int i = 0; i < width; i++){
                initval[i] = s[i];
            }
        }
        else{
            initval = new char[strlen(s) + 1];
            strcpy(initval, s);
        }
    }
    //Function that initializes LField
    void LField::initialize(int r, int c, int w, bool e){
        row_loc = r;
        col_loc = c;
        width_tot = w;
        edib = e;
        index = 0;
    }
    I am unsure if what I am doing is correct and would like some input. If there is something that has to be changed or corrected please tell me. Any input is greatly appreciated!

    it's okay... If any problem or specific features you wanna then post exact point? beacuse here there is no team for review your code without giving any proper reason/problem/code defects/ features...
