Subclasses

Are there such a thing?

I am wanting to create a class "car" that contains many classes. Could I do this, if so how.
I would like to address it like car.engine.size()

Yep, something like -

Code:

---

class car
{
public:
        class engine
        {
        public:
                int hp;
                int cc;
    }the_engine;
        //more stuff

};

int main()
{

        car beast;
        beast.the_engine.hp=15000;

        return 0;       
}

---

Thanks, I thought it might be something like that

i don't think so sorenson, it'd be more like this:

Code:

---

class engine
{
 public:
 int hp, cc /*etc.*/;
}

class car
{
 public:
 engine theEngine;
 //other stuff.
}

---

what you did may work, but i prefer doing it this way.

Of course it'll work. If engines are only used within cars then I see no reason not to do what I have done, as long as engine is a simple class and they are only required by cars, it would be possible to prevent orphaned engines being created.
