Multiple Inheritance

Multiple inheritance , as the name suggests , is  deriving a class from more than one class . The derived class inherits all the properties of all its base classes. Consider the following example


class Aclass
 {
    :
    :
 };

class  Bclass
 {
    :
    :
 };

class Cclass : public Aclass , public Bclass
 {

  private :
            :
            :
  public  :

        Cclass(...) : Aclass (...), Bclass(...)
         {
         };
 };


 The class Cclass in the above example is derived from two classes - Aclass and Bclass - thus the first line of its class definition have the name of two classes, both publicly inherited. Like with normal inheritance , constructors have to be explained for initializing the data members of all classes. The constructor in Cclass  calls constructors for base classes. The constructor calls are separated by commas.
