Inheriting methods
suggest changeThere are several ways methods can be inherited
public abstract class Car
{
public void HonkHorn() {
// Implementation of horn being honked
}
// virtual methods CAN be overridden in derived classes
public virtual void ChangeGear() {
// Implementation of gears being changed
}
// abstract methods MUST be overridden in derived classes
public abstract void Accelerate();
}
public class Mustang : Car
{
// Before any code is added to the Mustang class, it already contains
// implementations of HonkHorn and ChangeGear.
// In order to compile, it must be given an implementation of Accelerate,
// this is done using the override keyword
public override void Accelerate() {
// Implementation of Mustang accelerating
}
// If the Mustang changes gears differently to the implementation in Car
// this can be overridden using the same override keyword as above
public override void ChangeGear() {
// Implementation of Mustang changing gears
}
}
