Inheritance

Abstract
  • composition
  • inheritance

Composition

Composition: reusing the implementation

  • Composition: construct new object with existing objects
  • It is the relationship of "has-a"
  • Ways of inclusion
    • Fully
    • By reference (Inclustion by reference allows sharing)
      e.g. an employee has
      Name    // fully
      Address     // fully
      Health Plan     // fully
      Salary History: Collection of Raise objects // fully
      Supervisor: Another Employee object!    // reference
      

Embedded objects

  • All embedded objects are initalized
    • The default constructor is called if you donʼt supply the arguments, and there is a default constructor (or one can be built)
  • Constructors can have initial

Note

If we wrote the constructor as (assuming we have the set accessors for the sub-objects):

SavingsAccount::SavingsAccount (
    const char* name,
    const char* address,
    int cents ) {
    m_saver.set_name( name );
    m_saver.set_address( address );
    m_balance.set_cents( cents );
}
Default constructors would be called!
对于嵌入对象,不用初始化列表,就必须有默认构造函数。

public vs private
It is common to make embedded objects private.

Inheritance

Reusing the interface
继承是要基于已有的类来设计新的类,新的类的对象可以被当作已有类的对象。

Inheritance is the ability to define the behavior or implementation of one class as a superset of another class.

Example

Source Code:

class Database {
    vector<CD> cds;
    vector<DVD> dvds;
    public:
        void addCD(CD &aCD);
        void addDVD(DVD &aDVD);
        void list() {
            for (auto x:cds) { cd.print(); }
            for (auto x:dvds) { x.print(); }
        }
}
Critique of DoME

  • code duplication
    • CD and DVD classes very similar (large part are identical)
    • makes maintenance difficult/more work
    • introduces danger of bugs through incorrect maintenance
  • code duplication also in Database class

Inheritance allows us to define one class as an extension of another.

这时如果希望增加一个新的类型,如磁带,直接 class Tape: public Item 继承即可。

Inheritance

Advantages of inheritance

  • Avoiding code duplication
  • Code reuse
  • Easier maintenance
    可维护性,指代码修改后可以适应未来的变化。
  • Extendibility
    可扩展性,指代码不经修改就可以适应未来的变化。

Class relationship: Is-A e.g. manager is an employee.

基类,超类,父类。派生类,子类。

Scopes and access in C++

clint class 表示这个类要使用另一个类。(只能看到 public
能接受相同信息的对象可以被认为是同一个类型,因此子类的对象也可以认为是父类的对象。
子类不能访问父类的私有变量,但私有变量存在于这个类中。

当调用构造函数时,我们不能调用父类的私有变量,只能用初始化列表的方式调用父类的构造函数。我们不能也不应该在子类对父类的变量做初始化 (code duplication)

Employee::Employee( const string& name, const string& ssn )
: m_name(name), m_ssn( ssn) {
    // initializer list sets up the values!
}
class Manager : public Employee {
    public:
        Manager(const std::string& name, const std::string& ssn, const std::string& title);
        const std::string title_name() const;
        const std::string& get_title() const;
        void print(std::ostream& out) const;
    private:
        std::string m_title;
};
Manager::Manager( const string& name, const string& ssn, const string& title = "" )
:Employee(name, ssn), m_title( title ) {
}

有什么是没有继承得到:

构造函数没有被继承,但父类的构造会被自动调用。析构同理。
赋值的运算符不会被继承。

Inheritance

  • Public: class Derived : public Base ...
  • Protected: class Derived : protected Base ...
  • Private: class Derived : private Base ...
    • default
Inheritance Type (B is) public protected private
public A public in B protected in B hidden
private A private in B private in B hidden
protected A protected in B protected in B hidden

private 继承:私生子,外界不能知道他的父亲是谁。即 B 的用户不能看到 A 的 public 函数。其实是一种组合,父类的函数、变量变为私有。

int main()
{
    Employee p1("John");
    Manager p2("Tom Jordan", );
    p1.print();
    p2.print();
    p1.print("Welcome:");
    //p2.print("Welcome:");     报错
    Employee *p = &p1;
    p->print();
    p = &p2;
    p->print();             // 按 Employee 里面的函数输出,而不是 Manager
}

要调用父类的成员函数,要 Employee::print().

初始化列表是属于 body 的,要和 {} 一起。
父类的构造是在子类的构造之前。

子类重新定义了父类的某个函数,就会把其他 overloaded 的函数覆盖掉(C++ 独有,无法解释),如上面的例子中, p2.print("welcome") 会报错。

如果在 Employee 中的 print 函数加上 virtual, p->print() 就会输出。
