Hybrid Inheritance

Medium Multiple & Virtual Inheritance

Solve in Playground →

Problem Statement

Combine multilevel and multiple inheritance. `Animal` -> `Mammal`. Create `WingedAnimal`. Create `Bat` inheriting from both `Mammal` and `WingedAnimal`. Inside `main()`, invoke a method `eat()` from `Animal` and `fly()` from `WingedAnimal` using a `Bat` object. Print ‘Eating’ and ‘Flying’.

Input Format

None

Output Format

Print the method outputs.

Constraints

None

Sample Output

Eating
Flying

Explanation

Hybrid inheritance mixes two or more types of inheritance. Here, Bat receives traits from a multilevel chain and an independent base class.

Starter Code

#include <iostream>

class Animal {
    // Implement eat()
};

class Mammal : public Animal {};

class WingedAnimal {
    // Implement fly()
};

class Bat {
    // Inherit Mammal and WingedAnimal
};

int main() {
    // Instantiate Bat and call methods
    return 0;
}
