Can I force a parent class to call a derived class's version of a function?
class Base(object): attr1 = '' attr2 = '' def virtual(self): pass # doesn't do anything in the parent class def func(self): print "%s, %s" % (self.attr1, self.attr2) self.virtual...

I know that the derived class can't access the private members of the base class, so why does the derived class inherit the private members of the base class? Is there any case that it is useful?
Thanks!

A derived class....
An instance of the derived class contains instances.
The derived class doesn't "inherit" the private members of the base class in any way - it can't access them, so it doesn't "inherit" them.

From an OOP point of view is there any difference between a derived class and an inherited class? Or is it simply terminology?

Is called the derived class.

Consider the class:

Now my secondary data class:
public class DataClass : BaseClass<DataClass> { public bool ABoolProperty...

Of "I can use an instance of a derived class anywhere that an instance of a base class is requiredHey,
You could try shadowing the property as in the following:
public class DerivedDataClass.

I have a generic class in my project with derived classes.
public class GenericClass <T> : GenericInterface<T> { } public class Test : GenericClass <SomeType> { }
Is there any way to find out if a Type object is derived from the GenericClass...

Hi,
Is it possible to access a base class function which has the same signature as that of a derived class function using a derived class object?. here's a sample of what I'm stating below..
class base1 { public: void test() {cout<<"base1"<<...

class virtual void test(); in your base class.
Test()
You cant override a method in derived class if you dint provide a virtual key word..

I have three classes:
A data holder class CDataHolder, which uses a Pimpl pattern
class CDataHolder { public: // ... private: friend class CBase; struct PImpl; PImpl* iPimpl; };
A base class CBase, which need to access the iPImpl member in CDataHolder...

Since you have declared struct PImpl in the private part of CDataHolder class, only friends section or even better before the CDataHolder class?
Friend is (rightfully) very limited and can't aspect of it, or B) you need the DataHolder ....

Is it possible to assign a base class object to a derived class reference with an explicit typecast in C#?.
I have tried it and it creates a run-time error.

A reference to a derived class must actually refer to an instance of the derived....
But you can assign an instance of a derived class to a variable of base class type.
No it is not possible, hence your runtime error.

Here's the scenario: I want define a base class that allocate some buffer once for all derived classes, while the size of the buffer varies among different derived classes. I could achieve it in this way:
class base { public: base():size(), p_array(0)...

Alternatively, just add times a p_array....
Sorry but why do you have 2 arrays (and 2 sizes)? Now if you create a derived class you have a 2 private in the base class, so derived classes can access only through Buffer().

I would like to do this:
class Derived; class Base { virtual Derived f() = 0; }; class Derived : public Base { };
Of course this doesn't work since I can't return an incomplete type. But neither can I define Derived before base, since I can't inherit ...

Why should anybody inheriting from this class....
You could use a pointer (or a reference):
class Derived; class Base { virtual Derived *f() = 0; }; class Derived : public Base { };
But this is code smell to me.
