Thread: Inheritence

Why are you re-initializing all of your variables? You can just do it once in the base constructor.

Code:

class BaseClass
{
    public int SomeNumber { get; set; }
    public int SomeOtherNumber { get; set; }

    public BaseClass(int someNumber)
    {
        SomeNumber = someNumber;
        SomeOtherNumber = 5;  // Some default value
    }
}

class SubClass : BaseClass
{
    public int MyOwnNumber { get; set; }

    public SubClass(int someNumber, int myOwnNumber)
        : base(someNumber)
    {
        MyOwnNumber = myOwnNumber;
    }
}

{
    SubClass obj = new SubClass(10, 7);
    Console.WriteLine(obj.SomeNumber);       // 10
    Console.WriteLine(obj.SomeOtherNumber);  // 5
    Console.WriteLine(obj.MyOwnNumber);      // 7
}
