It is System.Object class.
C language: int (but C is NOT a .net language) C# language: object or System.Object
Yes, the derived class includes the memory of the base class. The derived class inherits everything in the base class, data and function, and provides additional data and function as needed.
No. not directly. The static constructor is called by .net framework, not by your code. I always treat static constructor is the class initializer (not the instance one). The initialization routine is only called when the class definition being loaded. When the derived class is loaded, since this class derived from the base, it makes to go up the chain (of the hierarchy) to call those static constuctors. So, when a derived class is loaded, the static constructors of the hierarchy is called up. (any one of them had been loaded, the calling sequence stops). You cannot call those static constructor directly, nor you can skip "not to execute" them.
class superclass { public: superclass() {... } // c'tor public: virtual ~superclass() {... } // d'tor }; // superclass class derived: public superclass { public: derived() : superclass() { ... } // derived c'tor public: virtual ~derived() {... } // derived d'tor }; // derived class
A superclass, also referred to as a parent class, is a class what which other classes are derived from. These derived classes are known as either subclasses or child classes.
True. A derived class can make a public base function private. The derived function is private, within the derived class, but public in other contexts.
When there is no further use of derived class obect in execution sequence then It gets deleted. calling of distructor sequence is reverse of constructor calling sequence ,so first derived class obect deleted than base class obect.
Derived classes only inherit the protected and public members of their base classes. Private member functions cannot be inherited by a derived class.
Multi-level inheritance involves at least 3 classes, a, b and c, such that a is derived from b, and b is derived from c. c is therefore the least-derived base class, b is an intermediate base class and a is the most-derived class.
When you derive a class (the sub-class) from a base class using protected access, all public members of the base class become protected members of the derived class, while protected members of the base class will remain protected. Private members are never inherited so they remain private to the base class. By contrast, if you use public inheritance, the public members of the base class remain public to the derived class, while protected members of the base class remain protected in the derived class. If you use private inheritance, both the public and protected members of the base class become private to the derived class. Note that accessibility cannot be increased, only reduced or left the same. That is, a protected member of a base class cannot be inherited as a public member of a derived class -- it can only be declared private or remain protected. Note also that accessibility is viewed from outside of the derived class. That is, all members of a base class other than the private members are inherited by the derived class and are therefore fully accessible to the derived class. But from outside of the derived class, all base class accessibility is determined by the access specified by the type of inheritance.
False. A derived class inherits the public and protected members of its base class. Private members of the base class cannot be inherited.
