Test a custom input to verify an edge case (e.g. empty lists, negative numbers, duplicates).
This bug belongs to the null and undefined errors pattern
Cannot read properties of undefined, NoneType has no attribute, NaN appearing from nowhere.
What went wrong: dynamic_cast on a pointer returns nullptr when the underlying object is not an instance of the target derived class. Calling c->honk() without checking for nullptr causes a null pointer dereference.
The fix: Verify c is non-null before invoking member functions: std::string sound = c ? c->honk() : "None";.
Remember: Always check the result of a pointer dynamic_cast for nullptr before dereferencing.
The pattern behind it: null and undefined errors.
