在C++中,所谓“继承”就是在一个已存在的类的基础上建立一个新的类。已存在的类(例如“马”)称为“基类(base class )”或“父类(father class )”。新建的类(例如“公马”)称为“派生类(derived class )”或“子类(son class )”。
以上介绍的是最简单的情况:一个派生类只从一个基类派生,这称为单继承(single inheritance),这种继承关系所形成的层次是一个树形结构。一个派生类不仅可以从一个基类派生,也可以从多个基类派生。一个派生类有两个或多个基类的称为多重继承(multiple inheritance)。关于基类和派生类的关系,可以表述为:派生类是基类的具体化,而基类则是派生类的抽象。
声明派生类的一般形式为
class 派生类名:[继承方式] 基类名{派生类新增加的成员};
继承方式包括: public (公用的),private (私有的)和protected(受保护的),此项是可选的,如果不写此项,则默认为private(私有的)。
Eg:
class a :b
{
};
一个类的继承方式如果被制定为私有,那么在子类中它在子类中的所有成员都将是私有的。如果被指定为protected,则父类中public的成员在子类中变为protected(protected 和 private都不变化),如果被指定为public 那么所有都不变。
