Question
I have to make a new class called retailer class. It's inherits methods from both a buyer and seller class and needs to use both methods. However, buyer and seller are both derived from the same base class, called entity
let's take a method that I worked out called step:
this is buyer's version of step:
void Buyer::step()
{
code..
}
and this is seller's version:
void Seller::step()
{
different code...
}
I need my retailer to do BOTH Methods for it's step() function. I have no idea how to go about this. Do I need to write a new body for retailer that does both methods? that seems pointless, why would it be inherited then? any help is appreciated. I've read a bit about the "virtual", but I'm very lost.
do i do this when I make my class definition (h file)?
class Retailer : public virtual Buyer, public virtual Seller
then write a new method for retailer? like i did when i extended buyer and seller from entity?
Explanation / Answer
You can call them for retailer without writing the functions again.
like this:
Buyer obj1= new Retailer();
obj1.srep(); //for step function in Buyer class
and
Seller obj2= new Retailer();
obj2.srep(); //for step function in Seller class
