201801 CSE240 Lecture 14
0 likes82 views
The document discusses inheritance and polymorphism in C++ programming. It explains that inheritance allows new classes to extend existing classes, inheriting their members. Polymorphism allows pointers to a base class to refer to derived class objects, with dynamic dispatch determining which implementation of a virtual member function to call based on the actual object type. Examples are provided of defining base and derived classes that demonstrate inheritance of members and polymorphic calls through base class pointers.

- 1. CSE240 – Introduction to Programming Languages Lecture 14: Programming with C++ | Inheritance Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez javiergs@asu.edu javiergs.engineering.asu.edu Office Hours: By appointment
- 2. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE 240 | Fall 2017 | 2 Inheritance • Can be used for defining new classes by extending existing classes • Java: parent (super) class and child (sub) class • C++: base class and derived class • New class inherits existing members (variables and functions) and may add members or redefine members
- 3. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE 240 | Fall 2017 | 3 Example #include <iostream> using namespace std; class Base { public: Base(int n) { cout << "Base constructor"<<endl; } void function() { cout << "fuction"<<endl; } ~Base() { cout << "Base destructor"<<endl; } }; class Derived : public Base { public: // constructor calls constructor base Derived(int n) : Base(n) { cout << "Derived constructor"<<endl; } ~Derived() { cout << "Derived destructor"<<endl; } };
- 4. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE 240 | Fall 2017 | 4 Example #include <iostream> using namespace std; class Base { public: Base(int n) { cout << "Base constructor"<<endl; } void function() { cout << "fuction"<<endl; } ~Base() { cout << "Base destructor"<<endl; } }; class Derived : public Base { public: // constructor calls constructor base Derived(int n) : Base(n) { cout << "Derived constructor"<<endl; } ~Derived() { cout << "Derived destructor"<<endl; } };
- 5. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE 240 | Fall 2017 | 5 Example int main() { Derived myPQ1(50); myPQ1.function(); // inherited myPQ1.function(); // inherited Derived *myPQ2; myPQ2 = new Derived(50); myPQ2->function(); // inherited myPQ2->function(); // inherited delete myPQ2; }
- 6. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE 240 | Fall 2017 | 6 Multiple Inheritance § A class can inherit members from more than one class; § The semantics of multiple inheritances is complex and error prone. It must be used with caution. § The diamond problem name and age needed only once
- 7. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE 240 | Fall 2017 | 7 Example #include <iostream> using namespace std; class A { public: A() { cout << "A's constructor called" << endl; } }; class B { public: B() { cout << "B's constructor called" << endl; } }; class C: public B, public A { // Note the order public: C() { cout << "C's constructor called" << endl; } }; int main() { C c; return 0; }
- 8. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE 240 | Fall 2017 | 8 Polymorphism A pointer to a derived class is type-compatible with a pointer to its base class. // pointers to base class #include <iostream> using namespace std; class Figure { protected: int width, height; public: void set_values (int a, int b) {width=a; height=b;} int area () { return 0; } }; class Rectangle: public Figure { public: int area() { return width*height;} }; class Triangle: public Figure { public: int area() { return width*height/2; } }; int main () { Rectangle rectangle; Triangle triangle; Figure * f1 = &rectangle; Figure * f2 = ▵ f1->set_values (10,20); f2->set_values (30,40); cout << rectangle.area() << "n"; cout << triangle.area() << "n"; cout << f1->area() << 'n'; cout << f2->area() << 'n'; return 0; }
- 9. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE 240 | Fall 2017 | 9 Polymorphism A virtual member is a member function for which dynamic dispatch is facilitated. // pointers to base class #include <iostream> using namespace std; class Figure { protected: int width, height; public: void set_values (int a, int b) {width=a; height=b;} virtual int area () { return 0; } }; class Rectangle: public Figure { public: int area() { return width*height;} }; class Triangle: public Figure { public: int area() { return width*height/2; } }; int main () { Rectangle rectangle; Triangle triangle; Figure * f1 = &rectangle; Figure * f2 = ▵ f1->set_values (10,20); f2->set_values (30,40); cout << rectangle.area() << "n"; cout << triangle.area() << "n"; cout << f1->area() << 'n'; cout << f2->area() << 'n'; return 0; }
