Question

I’ve been away from C++ for a while, and I’m having a little trouble with this one. I’ll spare you my bad code – can someone please post a ‘model answer’ for how to write a simple header file and source file for a small class with a constructor that accepts a few values, and passes a few on to it’s base classes constructor? I’m worried that I’m making something inline by mistake. Thank you.

Sometimes the simplest answers are the hardest to find clear examples of on the internet.

Answer 1

// ExampleClass.h
#ifndef ExampleClass_H_
#define ExampleClass_H_

#include "ExampleBase.h"

class ExampleClass : public ExampleBase {
public:
    ExampleClass(int a);
};

#endif


// ExampleClass.cpp
#include "ExampleClass.h"

ExampleClass::ExampleClass(int a) : ExampleBase(a)
{
    // other constructor stuff here
}
