Polymorphism \ Overloading

samthewildone (12)
So I've been reading and watching a bit of
videos about polymorphism but, would like to know
how would it be effective in a practical program.
I've been working on this "juvenile delinquent" program
below. I think I have to concept correct but, am I missing somthing ?

Also keeping mind I'm still learning about the core basics with
C++. I'm spending most of my time reading and watching videos to make sure I can get both sides of the story. So concepts of C++ I still question about how would I use in a practical program but, I guess the concepts will become visible with time.

Lines 32 and 33 are not overloaded. They are calls to int numberint(int n1, int n2, int n3);
