Single Inheritance
Single inheritance is one in which the derived class inherits the single base class either public, private, or protected access specifier. In single inheritance, the derived class uses the features or members of the single base class. These base class members can be accessed by a derived class or child class according to the access specifier specified while inheriting the parent class or base class.
Syntax
Class DerivedClass_name : access_specifier Base_Class
{
//Class's Body
};
Example: Program to illustrate Single Inheritance
C++
// C++ program to illustrate Single Inheritance #include <iostream> using namespace std; class A { public: int k = 1000; float salary = 80000; }; class B : public A { public: float bonus = 8000; void ts() { cout << "Total salary.." << (salary + bonus) << endl; } }; int main() { B b1; cout << "Salary:" << b1.salary << endl; cout << "Bonus:" << b1.bonus << endl; b1.ts(); return 0; } |
Output
Salary:80000 Bonus:8000 Total salary..88000
In this example, A is the base class or parent class and B is the derived class or child class.
