So I have been tasked with creating a program that is essentially a planner for a person. It has to have the abilities to add events of 3 types(Party, Dance Class,Club Meeting). It then has to be able to display everything enter, and be able to display the things that occur on the same date, date from the user. Finally it has to check if you have 2 events that occur on the same day, and then check the time against it. So for right now I have a decent amount of base code but I'm having trouble with the adding events part, and my gut tells me that I need to switch my array from the driver program to my SocialEvent Class. So my question is how would I go about adding objects to an array that come from 3 subclasses, and then be able to access that information in the superclass so that it can be checked. Heres what I have so far.
