Diamond Problem in C+
Problem: Diamond problem is the scenario in hybrid or multiple inheritance, when a derived class inherit the 2 or more classes which inherit the same base class. In this case, Derived Class 3 acquires the 2 copies of the Base Class which is inherited by the Derived Class 1 & Derived Class 2. So an ambiguous situation appear while accessing the members of the Base class by Derived Class 3. Diamond Problem in Inheritance Solution : The ambiguity in the above mentioned problem will be removed by making the Base Class virtual by using the virtual keyword while Derived Class 1 & Derived Class 2 inherit the Base Class. It will pass a single copy to the Derived Class 3, when Derived Class 3 inherit the Derived Class 1 & Derived Class 2. // This code will explain the diamond problem by using Animal Class as Base Class. // Bird - Derived Class 1, Mammal - Derived Class 2, Bat - Derived Class 3 #include < iostream > using namespace std; class Animal { public: ...
