C++ :: Can Base Class Call Overridden Function From Derived Class?
Aug 28, 2013I just wondering if a base class can call the overridden function from a Derived class?
Here's an example:
//Base Class H
class BaseClass {
public:
BaseClass();
virtual ~BaseClass();
virtual void functionA();
[Code] ....
So basically, when I am creating a new object of Derived class, it will initialize BaseClass and the BaseClass will call functionA but I want it to call the function overridden by Derived class.
I know that if I call newObj->functionA it will call the overridden function. Right now I want the base class to call the overridden function "this->functionA(); in BaseClass" during its initialization. Is it possible to do that?
C++ :: How To Call Function From Derived Class In Base Class
Dec 24, 2013Basically, I have a base class called MainShop and it has 3 derived classes which are SwordShop, SpellBookShop and BowShop. I want the base class to be able to call a function from one of the derived classes but no matter what i do, it doesn't seem to work!
Here is my code:
#include "MainShop.h"
//BaseClass cpp
void MainShop::EnterShop(Hero& hero)
[Code]....
I have two other derived classes, but its basically the same concept. I have a function in one of the derived classes and i would like to call it from the base class. This is one my derived classes:
//SwordShop derived cpp
#include "SwordShop.h"
void SwordShop::soldierShop(Hero& hero)
{
/* some code here*/
}
C++ :: Calling Derived Class Functions In A Function With Parameter Of Base Class
Mar 30, 2013Say I have 3 classes:
class Player {
public:
virtual func1();
[code]....
Say in my main class, I have a function fight(Player p1, Player p2) and I would like to do something like this in the fight function, given that p1 is the human and p2 is the computer:
//function fight()
fight(Player p1, Player p2) {
p1.func2();
}
//using function fight()
fight(human, computer);
When I compile the program, I got this: error: ‘class Player’ has no member named 'func2()' What can I do to allow p1 to call func2 inside fight()? I'm not allowed to use pointers as the parameter for fight() and have to use the signature fight(Player p1, Player p2).
C++ :: Derived Class Not Overwriting Base Class Function - Using Vectors
Feb 4, 2014So I have a base class, lets call it base. In base I have a virtual function called update(), update just couts "base" then I have a class derived from base called derived;
it has a function called update(), update just couts "derived" then I create a vector called Vec it's initialised like this:
std::vector<base> Vec;
then I add an element into it like this
Derived DerElement;
Vec.push_back(DerElement);
then when I type:
for (int i=0; i<Vec.size(); i++) {
Vec.at(i).Update();
}
It outputs:
Derived DerElement2;
DerElement2.Update();
and it outputs this:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
class Base {
public:
virtual void Update() {
[Code] .....
and this is it's output:
Base
Derived

C++ :: Base Class Member Function
Apr 9, 2014I have encountered following lines in base class and I do not comprehend its meaning of "= 0" at the end of the member functions;
distance_list intersect(ray & r) = 0;
appearance get_appearance(vector & pt) = 0;
where distance_list is a list of doubles and appearance is properties.
In general, what does this "equal sign and 0 " mean for the member functions in the base class?
C++ :: Inheritance - Class Base Has No Member Function
Jan 16, 2014I have a simple question about inheritance. Consider the following code:
Code:
Class Base {
int type;
Base(){};
};
Class Derived1 : public Base
[Code] ....
I get the following error: Class "Base" has no member "Function1";
That makes sense - as Base has not declared Function1. But how can I loop through a vector of Bases, and then if the object is of type Derived1, call the function Function1?
C++ :: Size Of Derived Class With Overriding Virtual Functions From Base Class?
Jan 21, 2014The compiler creates virtual table for the base class and also for the derived class whether we override it or not.
That means each class has separate virtual table. when we get the size of the each class with out any data members... the size of base is -- 4 bytes(64 bit) and the size of derived is -- 1
The size of base class 4 is correct since it creates the virtual pointer internally and its size is member data + virtual pointer, but it in this case I have included any data members so it has given 4 byts.
But why in case of derived is 1 byte, since it the derived class has overridden the virtual function from base, this will also contains the virtual pointer which will be pointing to derived class Vtable, it the size of the class suppose to be 4 instead of 1 byte.

C++ :: Transfer Values Set In Privates Of Base Class By Object Of One Derived Class To Another
Apr 26, 2014I have my main.cpp like this:
#include <iostream>
#include "curve1.h"
#include "curve2.h"
using namespace std;
int main() {
Curve1 curve1Obj;
Curve2 curve2Obj;
[Code]...
Base class Score has two derived classes Curve1 and Curve2. There are two curve() functions, one is in Curve1 and other in Curve2 classes. getSize() returns the value of iSize.
My base class header score.h looks like this:
#ifndef SCORE_H
#define SCORE_H
class Score {
private:
int *ipScore;
float fAverage;
int iSize;
[Code]...
You can see that I have used curve1Obj to enter scores, calculate average and output. So if I call getSize() function with cuve1Obj, it gives the right size that I took from user in enterScores() function. Also the result is same if I call getSize() in score.cpp definition file in any of the functions (obviously).
.....
The problem is when I call curve() function of Curve2 class in main (line 23) with the object curve2Obj, it creates a new set of ipScore, fAverage and iSize (i think?) with garbage values. So when I call getSize() in curve() definition in curve2.cpp, it outputs the garbage. .....
How can I cause it to return the old values that are set in curve1.cpp?
Here is my curve2.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "curve2.h"
using namespace std;
void Curve2::curve() {
cout << "getSize() returns: " << getSize() << endl; // out comes the garbage
}
Can I use a function to simply put values from old to new variables? If yes then how?
C++ :: Deleting Array Of Derived Class Objects Through Base Class Pointer
Mar 21, 2015In this book, item 3 is about never treat arrays polymorphically. In the latter part of this item, the author talks about the result of deleting an array of derived class objects through a base class pointer is undefined. What does it mean? I have an example here,
Code:
class B
{
public:
B():_y(1){}

This sample code does exactly what I want. So does the author mean the way I did is undefined?
C++ :: Creating Array Of Pointers To Base Class To Point To Derived Class Objects Dynamically

C++ :: Exchange Array Between Derived Class And Base Class?
Apr 8, 2014Base class has an array, whose size is controlled by the derived class.
I can't use the STL and use a 2003 compiler, so things like std::vector and std::array are out. I also can't use dynamic memory allocation.
So I thought of a few options:
1.
template <int N> class myBaseClass { ... int array[N]; ... }
then class MyClass: public myBaseClass<8> ... etc ...
2.
have a int **array in the base and assign in the derived class.
3.
give the base some virtual methods such as int *getArray or even int &getInt for more safety.
C++ :: Invoking Base Class Constructor From Derived Class?
May 15, 2013I understand it is done like this
// Calling the base class constructor
explicit CCandyBox(double lv, double wv, double hv, const char* str="Candy"): CBox(lv, wv, hv)
{
...
}
But how does the compiler know that you are initializing the base "part" of the object?
Or is this the entire reason initialization lists exist, to separate this confusion?

C++ :: Using Member Function Of A Class In Another Class And Relate It To Object In Int Main
Aug 21, 2013I am writing a program which is using SDL library. I have two different classes which one of them is Timer Class and the other is EventHandling Class.
I need to use some member functions and variables of Timer in some Eventhandling Class member functions, Although I want to define an object of Timer in int main {} and relate it to its member function that has been used in Eventhandling member function in order that it becomes easier to handle it, I mean that I want to have for example two objects of timer and two objects of Eventhandling class for two different users.
I do not know how to relate an object of a class from int main{} to its member function which is being used in another class member function.
Lets have it as a sample code:
class Timer {
private:
int x;
public:
Timer();
get_X();
start_X();

C++ :: Pass Method Of Derived Class As Parameter To Another Method In Base Class?
Feb 2, 2015I have a question similar to the one here: [URL] .....
The main difference is I would like to pass a method of derived class as a parameter to some other method in its template base class.
template <typename BaseType>
class Base {
public:
typedef void (Base::*Callback)(int A);
[Code] .....
The above is an example which does not compile. My compiler complains that the two BaseMethod() calls in DerivedMethod() are invalid uses of non-static member function.
Is this not possible to do, or is my syntax simply wrong? All I want is to be able to pass as an an argument to a method in the base class from the derived class some callback as a variable for the base class to invoke later.

C++ :: Calling A Function On Derived Class
Dec 29, 2012I'm trying to call a function on a derived class that's in a vector of it's base class. I've made the code really simple for illustration purposes:
class Sprite {
virtual void update();
}
class Enemy : public Sprite {
virtual void update();
[Code] ....
I want to be able to just call update() on the items in the vector and the derived class update() functions be called. Currently, it always calls the Sprite update, which makes sense, but it's not what I want. Is there a way to call the derived update function without knowing the type of the derived class?

C++ :: Initializing Base Class Part From Derived Object Using Copy Constructor
Feb 20, 2012class Base
{
char * ptr;
public:
Base(){}
Base(char * str)
[code].....
Obj1 is a derived class object where base class char pointer is initialized with "singh" and derived class char pointer is initilized with "sunil". I want to create Obj2 out of Obj1. Separate memory should be created for Obj2 char pointer (base part and derived part as well) and that should be initialized with the strings contained in Obj1.
Here the problem is: Derived class part can be initialized with copy constructor. How to initialize the base class char poniter of Obj2 with the base class part of Obj1. char pointers in
both the classes are private.
I tried using initializer list but could not succeed.
Is there some proper way to do this?
