Inherited Class

We do not have to encode all elements (i.e. member functions) in a class. Suppose that we wish to have a customized class with a set of basic member functions but with an additional series of other member functions? This is a inherited or derived class.

A child class inherits one or more common characteristics from a base or parent class. That child class can use one or more of the functions from that parent PLUS any additional member functions in its own class. The child class can even include member variables NOT in its parent class.

1.Create a base (parent) class called Vehicles with the following member variables:

a)String vehicle name

b)Integer number of passengers including the driver)

c)Integer number of wheels on the vehicle (i.e. zero to N)

d)Float maximum Miles Per Hour, speed

2.The Vehicle parent class member functions:

a)Set the vehicle name

b)Set the number of passengers

c)Set the number of wheels

d)Set the maximum Miles Per Hour, speed

e)Retrieve the vehicle name

f)Retrieve the number of passengers

g)Retrieve the number of wheels

h)Retrieve the maximum speed of the vehicle

i)Set all of the member variable data (pass string, integer, integer, float variables representing the vehicle name, number of passengers, number of wheels, maximum speed)

j)Constructor Set a default of Motorcycle, 2 passengers, 2 wheels, maximum speed of 100 MPH

3.Create a child class called Trucks with the following member variables:

a)Float load (maximum carrying capacity in pounds)

b)Float weight (weight of the Truck class member in pounds)

4.Truck member functions:

a)Set the load of the vehicle

b)Set the weight of the vehicle

c)Retrieve the load

d)Retrieve the weight

e)Constructor Set a default load of zero and a weight of 2000 lbs

5.Application will perform the following:

a)Use an array to hold Vehicle class members and another array for the child class members (at least 10 for demonstrations sake)

b)Initialize vehicles to:

1)Sedan, 5 passengers, 4 wheels, 80 MPH

2)Bicycle, 1 passenger, 2 wheels, 30 MPH

3)Unicycle, 1 passenger, 1 wheel, 15 MPH

4)Row Boat, 3 passengers, 0 wheels, 10 MPH

c)Initialize two Truck members:

1)Pickup Truck, 2 passengers, 4 wheels, 65 MPH

2)Van, 2 passengers, 6 wheels, 70 MPH

d)Allow the application to

1)Display all Vehicle class members values

2)Change a Vehicle class members values based on its array index location

3)Find a Vehicle class member based on its array index location

4)Display the Truck class member values

5)Set the Truck member values of Load and Weight

6)Quit this application

Output Example:

1 - Display All Vehicles

2 - Change Values of a Class Member

3 - Find a Vehicle Class Member

4 - Display Truck Values

5 - Change Truck Members

6 - Quit
