This document was created by an unregistered ChmMagic, please go to http://www.bisenter.com to register it. Thanks. Clearly, the class requires several more methods to make it useful, but what additional method does it require to protect against data corruption? b. A: Golfer nancy; // default constructor Golfer lulu("Little Lulu"); // Golfer(const char * name, int g) Golfer roy("Roy Hobbs", 12); // Golfer(const char * name, int g) Golfer * par = new Golfer; // default constructor Golfer next = lulu; // Golfer(const Golfer &g) Golfer hazard = "Weed Thwacker"; // Golfer(const char * name, int g) *par = nancy; // default assignment operator nancy = "Nancy Putter";// Golfer(const char * name, int g), then // the default assignment operator Note Some compilers will additionally call the default assignment operator for statements #5 and #6. a. The class should define an assignment operator that copies data rather than addresses. b. Chapter 13 .1:What does a derived class inherit from a base class? A:The public members of the base class become public members of the derived class. The protected members of the base class become protected members of the derived class. The private members of the base class are inherited, but cannot be accessed directly. The answer to review question 2 provides the This document was created by an unregistered ChmMagic, please go to http://www.bisenter.com to register it. Thanks. exceptions to these general rules. .2:What doesn't a derived class inherit from a base class? A:The constructor methods are not inherited, the destructor is not inherited, the assignment operator is not inherited, and friends are not inherited. .3:Suppose the return type for the baseDMA::operator=() function were defined as void instead of baseDMA &. What effect, if any, would that have? What if the return type were baseDMA instead of baseDMA &? A:If the return type were void, you would still be able to use single assignment but not chain assignment: baseDMA magazine("Pandering to Glitz", 1); baseDMA gift1, gift2, gift3; gift1 = magazine; // ok gift 2 = gift3 = gift1; // no longer valid If the method returned an object instead of a reference, the method execution would be slowed a bit because the return statement would involve copying the object. .4:In what order are class constructors and class destructors called when a derived class object is created and deleted? A:Constructors are called in the order of derivation, with the most ancestral constructor called first. Destructors are called in the opposite order. .5:If a derived class doesn't add any data members to the base class, does the derived class require constructors? A:Yes, every class requires its own constructors. If the derived class adds no new members, the constructor can have an empty body, but it must exist. .6:Suppose a base class and a derived class both define a method of the same name and a derived class object invokes the method. What method is called? This document was created by an unregistered ChmMagic, please go to http://www.bisenter.com to register it. Thanks. A:Only the derived class method is called. It supersedes the base class definition. A base class method is called only if the derived class does not redefine the method or if you use the scope resolution operator. However, you really should declare as virtual any functions that will be redefined. .7:When should a derived class define an assignment operator? A:The derived class should define an assignment operator if the derived class constructors use the new or new [] operator to initialize pointers that are members of that class. More generally, the derived class should define an assignment operator if the default assignment is incorrect for derived class members. .8:Can you assign the address of an object of a derived class to a pointer to the base class? Can you assign the address of an object of a base class to a pointer to the derived class? A:Yes, you can assign the address of an object of a derived class to a pointer to the base class. You can assign the address of a base object to a pointer to a derived class (downcasting) only by making an explicit type cast, and it is not necessarily safe to use such a pointer. .9:Can you assign an object of a derived class to an object of the base class? Can you assign an object of a base class to an object of the derived class? A:Yes, you can assign an object of a derived class to an object of the base class. Any data members new to the derived type are not passed to the base type, however. The program will use the base class assignment operator. Assignment in the opposite direction (base to derived) is possible only if the derived class defines a conversion operator, which is a constructor having a reference to the base type as its sole argument, or else defines an assignment operator with a base-class parameter. .10:Suppose you define a function that takes a reference to a base class object as an argument. Why can this function also use a derived class object as an argument? A:It can do so because C++ allows a reference to a base type to refer to any This document was created by an unregistered ChmMagic, please go to http://www.bisenter.com to register it. Thanks. type derived from that base. .11:Suppose you define a function that takes a base class object as an argument (that is, the function passes a base class object by value). Why can this function also use a derived class object as an argument? A:Passing an object by value invokes the copy constructor. Since the formal argument is a base class object, the base class copy constructor is invoked. The copy constructor has as its argument a reference to the base class, and this reference can refer to the derived object passed as an argument. The net result is producing a new base class object whose members correspond to the base class portion of the derived object. .12:Why is it usually better to pass objects by reference than by value? A:Passing an object by reference instead of by value enables the function to avail itself of virtual functions. Also, passing an object by reference instead of value may use less memory and time, particularly for large objects. The main advantage of passing by value is that it protects the original data, but you can accomplish the same end by passing the reference as a const type. .13:Suppose Corporation is a base class and PublicCorporation is a derived class. Also suppose that each class defines a head() member function, that ph is a pointer to the Corporation type, and that ph is assigned the address of a PublicCorporation object. How is ph->head() interpreted if the base class defines head() as a Regular nonvirtual methoda. Virtual methodb. A:If head() is a regular method, then ph->head() invokes Corporation::head(). If head() is a virtual function, then ph->head() invokes PublicCorporation::head(). .14:What's wrong, if anything, with the following code? This document was created by an unregistered ChmMagic, please go to http://www.bisenter.com to register it. Thanks. class Kitchen { private: double kit_sq_ft; public: Kitchen() { kit_sq_ft = 0.0; } virtual double area() { return kit_sq_ft * kit_sq_ft; } }; class House : public Kitchen { private: double all_sq_ft; public: House() { all_sq_ft += kit_sq_ft;} double area(const char *s) { cout << s; return all_sq_ft; } }; A: First, the situation does not fit the is-a model, so public inheritance is not appropriate. Second, the definition of area() in House hides the Kitchen version of area() because the two methods have different signatures.

A:If two lines of inheritance for a class share a common ancestor, the class winds up with two copies of the ancestor's members. Making the ancestor class a virtual base class to its immediate descendants solves that problem.
