I've got this code here:

class DerivedClass : public BaseClass {
    SomeClass* a1;
    Someclass* a2;
public:
    //constructors go here
    ~DerivedClass() { delete a1; delete a2;}
    // other functions go here ....
};

My first question is as follows: Can I write an "operator=" to "DerivedClass" ? (if your answer is yes, could you show me how?)

My second question is: If the answer to the above is yes, could you show me how to make an "copy c'tor" using the "operator=" that you wrote beforehand (if that is even possible)?

Your help would be much appreciated !
