Members
in a base class are hidden anytime we specify
|
|
|
a
data member or a member function in a derived class
|
|
|
that
has the same name as a member in one of the base
|
|
|
classes.
When that member is accessed, either from a
|
|
|
client
of the derived class or within the derived class
|
|
|
itself,
it is the derived class member that is used.
|
|
|
| • |
To
avoid problems with ambiguous resolutions, if there
|
|
|
are
members with the same name in the base classes,
|
|
|
then
we should make a rule to hide those members with
|
|
|
a
member of the same name in our derived class. This is
|
|
a
simple rule to follow and will avoid problems of
|
|
|
ambiguity
for clients of our classes.
