Dynamic Cast
In the C++ programming language, the dynamic_cast operator is a part of the run-time type information (RTTI) system that performs a typecast. Unlike an ordinary C-style typecast, a type safety check is performed at runtime, and if the types are not compatible, an exception will be thrown (when dealing with references) or a null pointer will be returned (when dealing with pointers). In this regard, dynamic_cast behaves like a Java typecast.
