Unit 9: Inheritance
Obj. getdata (); Notes
getdata ();
}
When the statement obj. getdata (); get executed, the function getdata () of the derived class i.e.
of derived B get executed. This means, the derived class function overrides the base class function.
The scope resolution (:: ) operator can be used to access base class function through an object of
the derived class.
Example:
Derived B obj;
Obj. Base A:: getdata ();
The above statements specify that the getdata () of base A is to be called.
A base class function can be accessed from within the derived class by as follows also:
Class derived B: public base A
{
Public:
Void getdata ()
{
Base A:: getdata (); // call getdata () of base A
}
};
