Thread: Daughter class not inheriting the function from the mother.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;


class Mother//Base Class
{
	public:
		Mother();//daughter will not inhereit constructors or destructor
		void sayName()//function will be inhereited
		{
			cout << "I am a Roberts!" << endl;
		}
};


class Daughter: public Mother//Derived Class will inhereit functions from Mother
{
	public:
		Daughter();
};


int main()
{
	Daughter tina;
	tina.sayName();
	return 0;	
}

Ok, so I TRIPPLE checked this wasn’t a typo, whats going on here? I’m getting an error saying tried to execute an unknown external function. It’s like the daughter is not inhereiting the function from the mother.

That was it, it was the blank constructors, Ive noticed that this particular compiler DOES NOT CARE FOR THEM AT ALL. Removed them and everything worked perfect. FYI, yes this was complete. I remove all the non-pertinent code if its not a review problem which this was. Thanks LL.
