I have one class Number (base class) and two child class Fraction and Integer. I am suppose to provide the functionality to add and compare two Integer obj, two Fraction obj, One Integer One Fraction obj by operator overloading. Below is what I have come up with. Can someone kindly review it. I am trying to avoid memory leaks too. Not sure if I succeeded.
1. Factory.h
class Factory
{
public:
Number * createObj(int a);
Number * createObj(int a, int b);
Factory(){}
};
2. Factory.cpp
Number * Factory::createObj(int a)
{
return new Integer(a);
}
Number * Factory::createObj(int a, int b)
{
return new Fraction(a, b);
}
3. Number.h

public:
virtual void display(std::ostream &) = 0;

friend bool operator==(Number &, Number &);
};
4. Number.cpp
// overloading "=="

lhs.display(std::cout);
d1.printString(" and ");
rhs.display(std::cout);
// checking of two integers
if ((intPointer1 = lhs.isInteger()) && (intPointer2 = rhs.isInteger()))
{
if (*intPointer1 == *intPointer2)
return true;
return false;
}

Code is way too complicated, but let me try:
Style
you should NOT use names starting with underscore. I did same error in the near past.
If you want to emphasize that those are private,
add the underscore at the end.
Mixed case file names
You should avoid capital letters in file names. Windows and MacOS support case insensitive file names, but Linux and most UNIX-es - do not.
Imagine someone compress the code using ZIP or ARJ and when you un-compress it - surprise - capital/small letters are lost.
Once I lost all small letters on huge Java project - file names became all-caps - it was easy fixable since all I needed to do is to rename everything with small letters.
Keep class names with capital letter, but make files with small letters. C++ allow this, Java do not.
This is huge problem in Java world, but nobody speaking about it.
Factory.h
no need to provide default c-tor. it can be removed.
Number.h
I don't think this compiles.
virtual Integer * isInteger(){return 0;}
virtual Fraction * isFraction() { return 0; }
You need to use class Integer; prior class Number declaration.
Because you are playing with dynamically allocate objects + polymorphism, you MUST add virtual d-tor. I do not think the code will work correctly without it.
virtual ~Number(){}
I do not like these two:
virtual Integer * isInteger(){return 0;}
virtual Fraction * isFraction() { return 0; }
Is this conversion or just check if class is Integer / Number?
Naming is unfortunate. Change it it toInteger() or change return type to bool.
What is return 0? If it is a pointer, change it to return NULL; or if you are using C++11 to return nullptr;.
Number.cpp
way too big, skipping for the moment.
Fraction.h
once again this will not be compilled, because you are using unknown class Integer.
default c-tor must initialize the _numerator and _denominator. I suggest following:
Fraction() : _numerator(0), _denominator(1)
{}
or much better:
class Fraction : public Number
{
Integer _numerator = 0;
Integer _denominator = 1;
//...
Fraction() = default;
What is the d-tor doing? Is this because of incomplete class Integer.
C++11 comment - remove virtual, use override or final.
final helps the optimizer a lot to speed up the code, when class is known.
division by zero - I think you need to check somehow for it. Probably in c-tor.
Fraction.cpp
prefer initialize list:
Fraction::Fraction(const int & num, const int & den)
{
_numerator.setValue(num);
_denominator.setValue(den);
}
must be:
Fraction::Fraction(const int & num, const int & den) :
_numerator(num),
_denominator(den)
{
}
I would even move it to the Fraction.h file.
skipping for now
Integer.h
same considerations for the c-tor and d-tor. Initialize the value to zero.
If you do so, you can ommit initialization of Fraction::_numerator.
d-tor once again doing nothing. this time you can remove it.
Display.h
remove c-tor and d-tor.
on all your code, you use pointers. now suddenly you switch to refferences.
Why? Answer is - to make main() more ugly :)
main()
Do you think there will be exception thrown?
std::auto_ptr is deprecated. If you are using C++11, change it to std::unique_ptr.
Make std::auto_ptr<Number> to be typedef. You really not need to write it several times.
