Exercise 18.24: On page 807 we presented a series of calls made through a Bear
pointer that pointed to a Panda object. Explain each call assuming we used a
ZooAnimal pointer pointing to a Panda object instead.

By Faisal Saadatmand

ZooAnimal *pZA = new Panda("ying_yang");
pZA->print(); // ok (virtual call): Panda::print()
pZA->cuddle(); // error: not part of the ZooAnimal interface
pZA->toes(); // error: not part of the ZooAnimal interface
pZA->highlight(); // error: not part of the ZooAnimal interface
delete pZA; // ok (virtual call): Panda::~Panda()
