Hierarchical Inheritance - OOP's Concept
What is Hierarchical Inheritance OOP's Concept in C++?
Explanation
Hierarchical Inheritance is a method of inheritance where one or more derived classes is derived from common base class.
Result :
The square value is:: 100
The cube value is::8000
In the above example the two derived classes "Square", "Cube" uses a single base class "Side". Thus two classes are inherited from a single class. This is the hierarchical inheritance OOP's concept in C++.
Example :
| #include <iostream.h> class Side { protected: int l; public: void set_values (int x) { l=x;} }; class Square: public Side { public: int sq() { return (l *l); } }; class Cube:public Side { public: int cub() { return (l *l*l); } }; int main () { Square s; s.set_values (10); cout << "The square value is::" << s.sq() << endl; Cube c; c.set_values (20); cout << "The cube value is::" << c.cub() << endl; return 0; } |
Result :
The square value is:: 100
The cube value is::8000
In the above example the two derived classes "Square", "Cube" uses a single base class "Side". Thus two classes are inherited from a single class. This is the hierarchical inheritance OOP's concept in C++.
