Multiple Inheritance

• A class can be derived from more than one base class. This is called multiple inheritance. The syntax is as follows:

  class A { }; 	//Base Class A 
  class B { }; 	// Base Class B
  class C: public A, public B {    };
  

  // C is derived from A and B
• The base classes from which C is derived are listed following the colon on C's specification separated by commas.

  Ambiguity in Multiple Inheritance

• In multiple Inheritance, when two base class (Say, A & B) have got same functions name (Say, show()) and an object of derived class (Say C, inherited from A & B) calls that function, then compiler shows an error showing ambiguous function call.
• This error can be corrected by specifying clearly by writing base class name in the calling statement.
