CPP03 explores the concept of inheritance in C++, demonstrating its utility in building complex object hierarchies. This module continues the exploration of object-oriented programming (OOP) principles using the C++98 standard, with a specific focus on how classes can inherit attributes and behaviors from other classes.
Each exercise in this module progressively builds on the concept of inheritance, introducing more complex scenarios and challenges:
- Directory:
ex00/ - Files to submit:
Makefilemain.cppClapTrap.{h, hpp}ClapTrap.cpp
Implementation of the ClapTrap class with basic functionalities like attack, take damage, and repair. This exercise sets the foundation for understanding how base classes work.
- Directory:
ex01/ - Files to submit:
- Files from Exercise 00
ScavTrap.{h, hpp}ScavTrap.cpp
Introduction of the ScavTrap class, which inherits from ClapTrap. This exercise expands on the use of inheritance and constructor/destructor chaining.
- Directory:
ex02/ - Files to submit:
- Files from previous exercises
FragTrap.{h, hpp}FragTrap.cpp
Creation of the FragTrap class, derived from ClapTrap, and showcasing how inherited classes can override parent functionalities while introducing their own unique features.
- Directory:
ex03/ - Files to submit:
- Files from previous exercises
DiamondTrap.{h, hpp}DiamondTrap.cpp
Development of the DiamondTrap class, which inherits from both ScavTrap and FragTrap. This exercise highlights the complexities and potential pitfalls of multiple inheritance.
To compile an exercise, navigate to the corresponding directory and use make. Each program can be run from the command line to demonstrate the designed functionalities.
