Inheritance

• Programming by extension• One class is based on (is derived from)

another class.• Inheritance allows classes to share and

reuse behaviors and attributes.– Code and design

• Build on existing work– Designing, coding, testing

Kate Gregory

From the General to the Specific

• The base class or super class is general: animal, vehicle, bank account

• The derived classes or subclasses are specific: mammal, car, savings account

• You add functionality as you move from the general to the specific: mammals can do things that not all animals can

• You cannot remove functionality

Kate Gregory

Inheritance Example

Kate Gregory

IS A

• Inheritance examples should make sense with “is a”.– A mammal is an animal– An ungulate is a mammal– A savings account is a bank account– A rush order is an order– A car is a vehicle

• Is a car an engine with metal wrapped around it?

IS A Problems

• Square and Rectangle have obvious similarities– Location in space

– Can calculate area (similar formula)

– Rectangle has height and width, Square has only height

• Square IS A Rectangle?– Can’t suppress functionality

• Rectangle IS A Square?– Doesn’t make any sense

Kate Gregory

Square and Rectangle

Square

Location: PointWidth: int

GetArea(): intMove(Point)GetWidth(): intSetWidth(int)

Rectangle

Location: PointWidth: intHeight: intGetArea(): intMove(Point)GetWidth(): intSetWidth(int)GetHeight(): intSetHeight(int)

Square and Rectangle

Square

Rectangle

Square inherits all Rectangle functions including GetHeight() and SetHeight()

Square and Rectangle

Rectangle

Square

Rectangle adds functions including GetHeight() and SetHeight(), adds attribute height

Abstract Base Class

• Quadrilateral– Has location in space, idea of a function for area

• Rectangle IS A Quadrilateral– With height and width

– Implements area function

• Square IS A Quadrilateral– With height

– Implements area function

Kate Gregory

Abstract Base Class

Square

Width: int

GetArea(): intGetWidth(): intSetWidth(int)

Rectangle

Width: intHeight: int

GetArea(): intGetWidth(): intSetWidth(int)GetHeight(): intSetHeight(int)

Quadrilateral

Location: Point

GetArea(): intMove(Point)

Abstract Classes

• An abstract class can’t be used to generate an object– Can you open just a bank account?

• Subclasses must implement the un-implemented methods or they are also abstract

• You instantiate objects of the subclasses

Kate Gregory

Not all Base Classes are Abstract

• Use it when no complete (working) class has all the common functionality

• Don’t go out of your way to invent ABC when a concrete class can be a good base class– Eg Rush Order inherits from Order, don’t need

to create abstract Order with Rush Order and Regular Order as subclasses

Kate Gregory

Kate Gregory

Multiple Inheritance• Some OO systems (C++, not Java or C#)

permit a class to inherit from more than one superclass.

• This kind of inheritance is referred to as multiple inheritance.

Kate Gregory

Multiple Inheritance Example

• Utility vehicle inherits from Car and Truck classes.

MotorVehicle

Truck Car Bus

Diamond Problem: Bad M.I.

Disambiguatingoverride

Appliance

+turnOn() : boolean+turnOff() : boolean

-poweredup : boolean

Clock

+setAlarm() : boolean+turnOn() : boolean

-time : int

Radio

+turnOn() : boolean

-station : int

ClockRadio

Diamond Problem

• What happens here?

ClockRadio cr;

cr.turnOn();• Need a disambiguating override

Kate Gregory

Kate Gregory

Good Multiple Inheritance

• Problem : Track RCMP transportation– Includes: Car, PowerBoat, Bike, Canoe,

SeaDoo and Horse.– Track schedules for changing oil, rotating tires,

feeding, checkingForHoles etc.– Use inheritance as much as possible since we

only want to write the code once !

+rotateTires()

What if there’s no MI allowed?• No need to inherit code, just design:

– Interface

– Keep substitutability, IS-A, polymorphism

• Need to inherit (reuse, maintain) code:– Use aggregation instead

– Wrapper functions delegate to helper class

– Drawbacks• if helper class adds a method you must add the wrapper by

hand to all who use it

• No polymorphism

Kate Gregory

Polymorphism

Motor Vehicle

+colour: ?+price: ?+model: ?

+go()+stop()+turn left()+turn right()

Bus Truck Car

Ford Mustang

+stop()+go()

Toyota Corolla Pontiac Sunfire

Kate Gregory

Polymorphism

• Imagine an array of MotorVehicles holding objects of Car, Truck and Bus, as well as, Mustang, Corolla and Sunfire. All are subclasses of Motor Vehicle.

• Code asks each vehicle in the array to stop.

• When the vehicle is a Mustang, the Mustang override of Stop without the calling code having to figure out which specific subclass the vehicle belongs.

• The correct version of a method will be called even though the object is being referred to in more generic terms.

Kate Gregory

Uses of Polymorphism

• Here are a whole pile of shapes - draw them on the screen

• Here are a whole pile of bank accounts - print their statements

• Here are a whole pile of employees - print their paycheques

Kate Gregory

Polymorphism benefit

The old way:struct shape {

int type;

struct point reference;

int dimension1;

int dimension2;

int dimension3; /* ...*/ };

Kate Gregory

Using the structstruct shape circle, square;/* fill them with values somehow*//* put pointers to them into an array */for (i=0; i<numshapes; i++){ switch (array[i].type) { case CIRCLE: drawcircle(array[i]); break; case SQUARE: drawsquare(array[i]); break;/* etc */ }}

Kate Gregory

Without Polymorphism

• What is involved in adding a new shape?– #define for type– another case statement in the switch– new drawing method – the code that created the shape and added it to

the array

• Four different files

Kate Gregory

With Polymorphism

class Shape {

protected:

Point reference;

public:

virtual void draw();

};

Kate Gregory

class Circle: public Shape {private: int radius;public: void draw();};

class Square: public Shape {private: int width;public: void draw();};

Kate Gregory

Circle circle;Square square;/* fill them with values somehow*//* put pointers to them into an array */for (i=0; i<numshapes; i++){ array[i]->draw();}

Using the classes

Kate Gregory

With Polymorphism

• What is involved in adding a new shape?– New class definition– code for draw() method – the code that created the shape and added it to

the array

• Two or three different files– can get compiler to remind you to write the

function

Inheritance and Relationships

• On your class diagram, if a Person can own any kind of Vehicle, draw the line to Vehicle, not to each subclass

• If for some reason a Company can own any kind of Vehicle but a Person can only own a Car, draw the lines to show that.
