Describe and define two classes that would correctly model a

Describe and define two classes that would correctly model an inheritance relationship. Make sure to describe both the base class and the derived class, and discuss what the derived class inherits from the base class and why you designed the two classes in that manner.

Solution

Answer:-

Inheritance :-

creating a new class using the inheritance property. It is possible to derive one class from another or even several (Multiple inheritance), like a tree we can call base class to the root and child class to any leaf; in any other case the parent/child relation will exist for each class derived from another.

Base Class :

A base class is a class that is created with the intention of deriving other classes from it.

Child Class:

A child class is a class that was derived from another, that will now be the parent class to it.

Parent Class:

A parent class is the closest class that we derived from to create the one we are referencing as the child class.

Program:-

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Person
{
public:
string profession;
int age;

Person(): profession(\"unemployed\"), age(16) { }
void display()
{
cout << \"My profession is: \" << profession << endl;
cout << \"My age is: \" << age << endl;
walk();
talk();
}
void walk() { cout << \"I can walk.\" << endl; }
void talk() { cout << \"I can talk.\" << endl; }
};

// MathsTeacher class is derived from base class Person.
class MathsTeacher : public Person
{
public:
void teachMaths() { cout << \"I can teach Maths.\" << endl; }
};

// Footballer class is derived from base class Person.
class Footballer : public Person
{
public:
void playFootball() { cout << \"I can play Football.\" << endl; }
};

int main()
{
MathsTeacher teacher;
teacher.profession = \"Teacher\";
teacher.age = 23;
teacher.display();
teacher.teachMaths();

Footballer footballer;
footballer.profession = \"Footballer\";
footballer.age = 19;
footballer.display();
footballer.playFootball();

return 0;
}
