inheritance

[Brett Irving]

I am trying to define an inherited class CheckMyArray
which inherits from InitMyArray

however it keeps coming up with

CheckMyArray.cpp: In method `CheckMyArray::CheckMyArray(int)':
CheckMyArray.cpp:6: no matching function for call to `InitMyArray::InitMyArray ()'
InitMyArray.h:15: candidates are: InitMyArray::InitMyArray(int)
InitMyArray.h:16: InitMyArray::InitMyArray(int, int)
InitMyArray.h:25: InitMyArray::InitMyArray(const InitMyArray &)
make: *** [CheckMyArray] Error 1

My code for Init and Check is

//child class of InitMyArray

#ifndef CHECKMYARRAY_H
#define CHECKMYARRAY_H

#include "InitMyArray.h"

class CheckMyArray : public InitMyArray
{
private:

int cVal;

public:

CheckMyArray(int);

void put(int, int);

};

#endif


#ifndef INITMYARRAY_H
#define INITMYARRAY_H

#include "MyArray.h"

class InitMyArray
{
private:

int arrSize;
int arrVal;

public:
/*constructors*/
InitMyArray(int);
InitMyArray(int, int);

/*Destructors*/
~InitMyArray();

/*member functions*/
int get(int);

int getSize();
};

#endif



please help, Im cant seem to figure this out.

When you construct a CheckMyArray an InitMyArray has to be constucted first.
That is because CheckMyArray inherits from InitMyArray. To construct an
InitMyArray one of its constructors must be invoked. By default what happens
is that the default constructor gets invoked, but InitMyArray doesn't have
one, that is what the error message says.

Its hard to be certain from the code you've posted but probably you want to
do something like this

ChemMyArray::CheckMyArray(int size) : InitMyArray(size)
{
...
}

Now you are invoking the InitMyArray(int) constructor using the int
parameter for the CheckMyArray constructor.
