Accessing constructors of a base class explicitly in the derived class

nethravathi.mn · #1 26-Sep-2006, 22:33

I need a clarification regarding the method used to access the base class constructor in a derived class constructor.

How can a scope resolution operator be helpful in this regard?

CPP / C++ / C Code:

class Base
{
     Base(int x) { m_xpos = x * 43; }
     int m_xpos;
};
class Derived : public Base
{
    Derived(int x, int radius) : Base(x), m_rad(radius) { }
    int m_rad;
};

I don't know where you'd need a scope resolution operator.
