Hi,
I am facing a problem when overriding a function derived from two
different baseclasses. To be clear, i am having the derived class Z,
derived from X & Y.
Both in X & Y there is a function, say func1(). I want to override
this function in my class Z. The function is having different return
types in the baseclasses. I want the function with the one in X.
How can i declare it in my derived class so that i can have it
overridden from the class X.

Thanks in Advance

Varun

use the scope resolution operator as follows:

when you have an ambiguous function name you must explicitly specify which
one you are calling

using namespace std;

class base1
{
public:
base1() {;}
int commonBaseFunction() { return 7; };
};

class base2
{
public:
base2() { ; }
float commonBaseFunction() { return 7.9; };
};

class derived : public base1, public base2
{
public:
derived() { ; }
int getIntNumber() { int i = base1::commonBaseFunction();
return i;
}
float getFloatNumber() { float f = base2::commonBaseFunction();
return f;
}
};

int main()
{
float f, df;
int i, di;
derived d;

i = d.base1::commonBaseFunction();
f = d.base2::commonBaseFunction();
cout << i << " " << f << endl;

di = d.getIntNumber();
df = d.getFloatNumber();
cout << di << " " << df << endl;
return 0;
}
