Implement Inheritance Heirarchy

Implement a Shape abstract class which will form the base of an inheritance hierarchy that models 2D geometric shapes. It will have:

* A non-mutable 'name' property or data member set by derived or descendant classes at construction time
* A 'area' method intended to be overridden by derived or descendant classes ( double precision floating point return value)
* A 'print' method (also for overriding) will display the shape's name, area, and all shape-specific values

Two derived or descendant classes will be created:
* Circle    -> Constructor requires a 'radius' argument, and a 'circumference' method to be implemented  
* Rectangle -> Constructor requires 'length' and 'breadth' arguments, and a 'perimeter' method to be implemented 

Instantiate an object of each class, and invoke each objects 'print' method to show relevant details.

Implement and use an Interface

Create a Serializable interface consisting of 'save' and 'restore' methods, each of which:

* Accept a stream or handle or descriptor argument for the source or destination
* Save to destination or restore from source the properties or data members of the implementing class (restrict yourself to the primitive types 'int' and 'string')

Next, create a Person class which has 'name' and 'age' properties or data members and implements this interface. Instantiate a Person object, save it to a serial stream, and instantiate a new Person object by restoring it from the serial stream.
ruby
class Person
def initialize(name, age)
@name, @age = name, age
end
end

tom = Person.new("Tom Bones", 23)

File.open('tommy.dump', 'w+') {|f| f.write(Marshal.dump(tommy)) }
toms_clone = Marshal.load(File.read('tommy.dump'))
cpp
struct person
{
person(){}
person(const string &name, int age) : name_(name), age_(age) {}

string name_;
int age_;

template<typename Archive>
void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int version) {
