[C++] Why the class B can't inherit f(int x) of class A? please help me.

Could someone explain why the class B can't inherit f(int x) of class A? I still dont get it. How to modify class B , let it inherit f(int x ) of class A? #include <iostream> using namespace std; class A { public: int f() {cout<<3;} int f(int x) {cout<<x;} }; class B: public A { public: int f() {cout<<5;} }; int main() { B ob; ob.f(7); }

either you should remove all the functions in side class B or to redefine them all in side class B #include <iostream> using namespace std; class A { public: int f() {cout<<3;} int f(int x) {cout<<x;} }; class B: public A { }; int main() { B ob; ob.f(7); } or #include <iostream> using namespace std; class A { public: int f() {cout<<3;} int f(int x) {cout<<x;} }; class B: public A { public: int f() {cout<<5;} int f(int x) {cout << x;} }; int main() { B ob; ob.f(7); }

becuause class B must redefine the overloaded function in sides its declaration and this is not done in your code.

@Johnny why do you say B can't inherit f(int x) base method? Because you see at output of 7?
