C++ Multilevel Inheritance

❮ Previous Next ❯

Multilevel Inheritance
A class can also be derived from one class, which is already derived from another
class.

In the following example, MyGrandChild is derived from class MyChild (which is

derived from MyClass ).

Example
// Base class (parent)
class MyClass {
public:
void myFunction() {
cout << "Some content in parent class." ;
}
};

// Derived class (child)

class MyChild: public MyClass {
};

// Derived class (grandchild)

class MyGrandChild: public MyChild {
};

int main() {
