Thread: confusion on multiple inheritance

I have a confusion on multiple inheritance. Suppose, I have classes A,B,C each having the same method . Now, how does X will know which method to call ?

class A { /* ... */ };
class B { /* ... */ };
class C { /* ... */ };
class X : public A, public B, public C { /* ... */ };

X would call the method in X. to access other methods from other classes use X.C::method(); assuming that B is not derived from A and C from B.

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class A
{
public:
    A() {};
    ~A() {};
    char getName()
    {
        return 'A';
    }
};

class B
{
public:
    B() {};
    ~B() {};
    char getName()
    {
        return 'B';
    }
};

class C
{
public:
    C() {};
    ~C() {};
    char getName()
    {
        return 'C';
    }
};

class X : public A, public B, public C
{
public:
    X() : A(), B(), C() {};
    ~X() {};
    char getName()
    {
        return 'X';
    }
};

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
    X sample;
    cout << "sample.getName() -> " << sample.getName() << endl
         << "sample.A::getName() -> " << sample.A::getName() << endl
         << "sample.B::getName() -> " << sample.B::getName() << endl
         << "sample.C::getName() -> " << sample.C::getName() << endl;
    return 0;
}
