C++ program to demonstrate Inheritance

This is a simple C++ Program to demonstrate Inheritance. Simpler methods in the classes have been changed to inline code to shorten the file considerably. In a practical programming situation, methods that are this short should be programmed inline since the actual code to return a simple value is shorter than the code required to send a message to a non-inline method.

Polymorphism

In OOP terms, polymorphism represents the ability to resolve a reference to an object’s method at run time. Specifically, different objects could make a call to a Draw or Print method, and these methods would act differently with each object; the process can take different forms behind a common interface. One of the benefits of polymorphism is that because the interface is common to objects, any object is able to respond differently to some common set of tasks, and objects are independent of each other.

Inheritance

In real life inheritance is what we acquire from our parents. For example our lifestyle, way of talking etc… In Object Oriented Programming Inheritance is the process by which objects of one class acquire the properties and functionality of objects of another...

Virtual Functions in C++

Once again we are into a completely new topic with terminology which will be new to you. If you are new to object oriented programming, you should follow along in this tutorial very carefully because every attempt has been made to define every detail of this new and...

Object Oriented Programming Techniques

Any program which uses these five methodologies or any of it, we can call that program object oriented. They are Encapsulation, Data Hiding, Overloading, Polymorphism, Inheritance. Any programming language which supports all of these features and facilitate the programmer in developing the program in these methodologies is called Object Oriented Programming Language i.e. C++, Java, C#.

Multiple inheritance

In order to keep the program as simple as possible, all of the member methods are defined as inline functions.? This puts the code for the methods where it is easy to find and study.? You will also notice that all variables in both classes are declared to be protected...

Demonstration of inheritance in C++

Demonstration of inheritance in c++. This example contains the following files. VEHICLE.H VEHICLE.CPP ALLVEHIC.CPP CAR.H CAR.CPP TRANSPORT.CPP TRUCK.H TRUCK.CPP Vehicle.h is a basic class for a vehicle. Car, truck and allvehicle will be inherited from this base class....

Miltiple Inheritance

The basic concept of multiple inheritance (MI) sounds simple enough: you create a new type by inheriting from more than one base class. The syntax is exactly what you’d expect, and as long as the inheritance diagrams are simple, MI can be simple as well. Or...
