Study Notes
Inheritance in C++
- The mechanism of deriving a new class from an old one is called inheritance.
- The old class is referred to as the base class or parent class in the context of inheritance.
- The new class derived from an old one is called the derived class or subclass.
- Multiple inheritance is a type of inheritance that involves deriving a class from more than one base class.
- The syntax for defining a derived class in C++ is
class DerivedClass : access-specifier BaseClass { ... };, whereaccess-specifierispublic,private, orprotected. - Public inheritance in C++ means that the derived class inherits all members of the base class and makes them accessible to the public.
