Inheritance

[codinitup]

Hey chili, I have learned c++ previously, but I've used your videos as a good way too review my skills, I also noticed something that I thought was interesting... When we say the following...

Code: Select all

void Game::Function()
{
    Code
}

aren't we using inheritance? I say that because it looks to me like game.cpp is inheriting the game.h file
in this case.

ahah, nope, not quite

It's not really inheriting anything, it's just showing it's a class member

Oh, I'm getting my stuff confused lol. Thanks for the heads up about that though, it was intriguing me for a while!

Yup, no inheritance in the framework brah. The .h file basically just sketches out the class, and the .cpp file gives the actual content of the member functions. The Game:: part is just to specify that we are talking about a function in the Game class.
