Inheritance

[zapap]

I have a parent class, Base with 2 child classes, Child1, and Child2. Base has a public int iNo. I init Child1 from another class. So Child1 inits Base. Now, in Child1, I set Base.iNo = 10. Then i create the second child class, Child2 from Child1. Now, in Child2, when I call Base.iNo, i don't get 10. I know the problem is that the child classes works with 2 seperate instances of the Base class, but how can i resolve this. i want both child classes to inherit from the same Base instance. How do i do this.? Thank you There's someone in my head but it's not me - Pink Floyd gunigugu

You inherit a class, not an object. Child1 and Child2 only inherits the definition of Base, Child1 objects and Child2 objects still are separeate objects. It's the same way as if you have two separate Base objects, they each have there own set of members, although they come from the same class. If you want to share a member across objects, you have to declare it as static. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Thank you very much, I never thought of static variables... There is someone in my head but it's not me - Pink Floyd
