Objects and Inheritance in C++

We can end up with a lot of files when we do even a simple C++ example to show inheritance - a file for the main program, a file each for the base class and subclass, and a header file for the prototypes for each of the base class and subclass too.

So it's much easier to do it all as one file - but suggest to the delegates that the code should be split across multiple files once it's functioning. And I have added an example - [here] - to our web site to show the fundamentals all in one, to give newcomers to objects and inheritance in C++ an easy start.

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
