What
happens when members in our hierarchy have the
|
|
|
same
name? Does overloading occur? NO!
|
|
|
| • |
Overloading
means that we have unique signatures for the
|
|
same
named function within the same scope. In a
|
|
|
hierarchy,
each class has its own separate class scope.
|
|
|
Overloading
doesn't apply between classes.
|
|
|
| • |
Instead,
inheritance allows members in a base class to be
|
|
|
hidden
by members of the same name in a derived class.
|
|
|
By
hiding base class members the behavior of those
|
|
|
functions
can be redefined by the derived class without
|
|
|
changing
the base class or affecting existing client
|
|
|
applications.
