Multiple Inheritance
nAll base class constructors are always implicitly invoked prior to the derived class' constructor.
nThe order in which the constructors are invoked is based on the order of the base class declarations in the
derived class. class assets : public savings, public equity means that
the savings constructor is invoked first
followed by the equity constructor. Thus, the order of constructor invokation for these classes is savings, equity, and assets.
nAs long as each base
class has a default constructor, the derived
class will automatically invoke them. If not, an explicit call to a base class constructor w/ arguments must be in the initialization list of the derived
class.
