C++ Programming Questions and Answers - Derived Classes - Sanfoundry

by Manish
This section on C++ programming questions and answers focuses on “Derived Classes”. One
shall practice these questions to improve their C++ programming skills needed for various
interviews (campus interviews, walkin interviews, company interviews), placements, entrance
exams and other competitive exams. These questions can be attempted by anyone focusing on
learning C++ programming language. They can be a beginner, fresher, engineering graduate or
an experienced IT professional. Our C++ programming questions come with detailed explanation
of the answers which helps in better understanding of C++ concepts.
Here is a listing of C++ programming questions on “Derived Classes” along with answers,
explanations and/or solutions:
1. Where is the derived class is derived from?

a) derived
b) base
c) both derived & base
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Because derived inherits functions and variables from base.
2. Pick out the correct statement.

a) A derived class’s constructor cannot explicitly invokes its base class’s constructor
b) A derived class’s destructor cannot invoke its base class’s destructor
c) A derived class’s destructor can invoke its base class’s destructor
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Destructors are automatically invoked when a object goes out of scope or when a
dynamically allocated object is deleted. Inheritance does not change this behavior. This is the
reason a derived destructor cannot invoke its base class destructor.
3. Which of the following can derived class inherit?

a) members
b) functions
c) both members & functions
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: None.
