public base class

[ET2 Ng]

Hi all,

If I recall correctly, the functions inherited from a base class are
private in the derived class.

I want to expose some of them (but not all of them) directly through my
derived class. In other words, I'm trying to avoid something like:

void PublicFunction_DerrivedClass()
{
PublicFunction_BaseClass();
}

I would appreciate any help.

That all depends on what kind of inheritance you use. The default for
classes is private inheritance, and the default for structs is public
inheritance.
To use public inheritance for classes, do something like this:

class A{
public:
void foo();
};
class B: public A{
};

int main(){
B b;
b.foo();
}

Hi John, Jacques, all,

Aha! Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a bunch; I knew there had
to be a way to do that!
