C++ fundamentals

In classical inheritance where objects are defined by classes, classes can inherit attributes and behavior from pre-existing classes called base classes, superclasses, or parent classes. The resulting classes are known as derived classes, subclasses, or child classes.

class SuperClass
{
public:

SuperClass(int foo)
{
// do something with foo
}
};

class SubClass : public SuperClass
{
public:

SubClass(int foo, int bar):SuperClass(foo) // Call the superclass constructor in the subclass' initialization list.
{
// do something with bar
}
};
