How do I call public methods of the base class (the class it was inherited from, aka super class)?
I have been reading around but it has been quite unclear.
Say, for instance, I wanna call a method from my super class.
Car (extends Vehicle)
Is this the correct way to do this?Code:... void Car::Display() { string color = Vehicle::getColor(); cout << color; } ...
Because in Java, I just type super.getColor();
In C#, I type Base.getColor();

Yes.
Seriously, read the tutorials, FAQ, and start testing code on your own.
Heheh, sorry
I've been reading the tutorials and FAQs, and have started testing my own code.
But I just wanted to reconfirm. Because I saw a site saying you could call it using Base::, but I had so many problems with that. Was just wondering if this is the only way
Output:Code:#include <iostream> class Parent { public: int getID() { return 100; } }; class Child : public Parent { public: int getID() { std::cout << "Super class ID: " << Parent::getID() << std::endl; return 200; } }; int main() { int iID; Child *c = new Child; iID = c->getID(); std::cout << "The ID of the child is: " << iID << std::endl; delete c; return 0; }
Note: The best time to write code is when you're exhausted.Code:Super class ID: 100 The ID of the child is: 200
