Default inheritance access specifier

If I have two classes A and B, for example, class B inherits A as follows:

class B: public A

In this instance, I'm dealing with public inheritance..

If I write the preceding code like this:

class B: A

What kind of inheritance will I be performing here (public or private)?

To put it another way, what is the default access specifier?

Just a quick inquiry.

Do I refer to the preceding line of code as a statement?

Especially since I recall reading in the book C++ Without Fear: A Beginner's Guide That Makes You Feel Smart that statements that conclude with ; are valid.

What are your thoughts about that?

Thanks.

The new syntax "= default" in C++11

A defaulted default function Object() { [native code] } is defined as a user-defined default function Object() { [native code] } with an empty compound statement and no initialization list. I'll give you an example to demonstrate the difference: #include <iostream> using namespace std; class A { public: ...READ MORE

Function default argument value depending on argument name in C++ [duplicate]

When the function is called with no argument for the corresponding parameter, the default argument is evaluated. In a default argument, a parameter must not appear as a potentially evaluated expression. A function's parameters declared before a default argument are in scope and can obscure the namespace and class member name. It provides the following example: int h(int a, ...READ MORE

How to access static members of a class?

I'm learning C++ and Qt, but even the simplest code that I copy and paste from a book produces problems. On Ubuntu 10.04, I'm using g++4.4.2 with the QtCreator IDE. Is there a distinction between the syntax of the g++ compiler and those of other compilers? When I try to access static members, for example, something always goes wrong. #include <iostream> using namespace std; class A { ...READ MORE

What is the difference between public, private, and protected inheritance in C++?

To begin answering that question, let me characterise member accessors in my own terms. If you already know this, proceed to the section "next:". I'm aware of three types of accessors: public, protected, and private. Let: class Base { public: ...READ MORE

C++ - Overloading vs Overriding in Inheritance

In C++, a derived class's method only overrides the base class's method if their declarations match (I say "match," but I'm not sure what the formal term is). That is, all arguments must be of the same type, with the same const qualification. If there are any mismatches, the derived class's method hides all methods with the same name rather than overriding. This is what the "ERROR" in your image is attempting to convey. So, in that image, / overrides in a comment is incorrect and misleading. Yes, many C++ instructors are unaware of these somewhat esoteric details. Furthermore, if you want to override, your base class's method must be virtual; otherwise, polymorphism will not work. . We could also say that the derived-class method hides the base-class method if it wasn't virtual. The part about hiding, on the other hand, has almost no meaning here; what this term really means is that you're not in charge. Furthermore, overloading is the presence of multiple methods with the same name but different signatures, as you may have noticed. To be useful, they must all be present in the derived class; otherwise, they will be hidden if the derived class only has one method, fa1, and the other fa1 are in the base. There is, however, a syntax sugar that "copies" all fa1 from base to derived, removing all the hidden semantics: class A { public: void fa1(); ...READ MORE
