Problem Statement

Create an abstract `Worker` class with `virtual void work() = 0;`. Create `Developer` printing ‘Coding’ and `Manager` printing ‘Managing’. In `main()`, create an array of two `Worker*` pointers containing one of each. Loop through the array and call `work()` on both.

Input Format

None

Output Format

Print each worker's task on a separate line.

Constraints

None

Sample Output

Coding
Managing

Explanation

Abstract base pointers allow creating polymorphic collections where you iterate through different types of objects with identical interfaces.

Starter Code

#include <iostream>

class Worker {
public:
    // Pure virtual method
};

class Developer : public Worker {
public:
    // Override
};

class Manager : public Worker {
public:
    // Override
};

int main() {
    // Setup array and iterate
    return 0;
}
