More on Inheritance

• A subclass can redefine member functions, hiding the original definition

class employee {

public:

// print generic employee info

void print(void);

};

class manager : employee {

public:

// print special manager info instead

void print(void);

};

class summer_student : employee {

// NO print() function defined

};

employee e;

manager m;

summer_student s;

e.print(); // employee’s print

m.print(); // manager’s print

s.print(); // employee’s print
