(Richer Shape Hierarchy) The world of shapes is much richer than the shapes included in the inheritance hierarchy of Fig. Write down all the shapes you can think of—both two-dimensional and three-dimensional—and form them into a more complete Shape hierarchy with as many levels as possible. Your hierarchy should have the base class Shape from which class TwoDimensionalShape and class ThreeDimensionalShape are derived. [Note: You do not need to write any code for this exercise.] We’ll use this hierarchy in the exercises of Chapter 12 to process a set of distinct shapes as objects of base-class Shape. (This technique, called polymorphism, is the subject of Chapter 12.)
