Assignment operator inheritance

Question

There is this code:

#include 

class Base {
public:
    Base(){
        std::cout << \"Constructor base\" << std::endl;
    }
            


        

Answer 1

You don't have a default

Derived& operator=(const Base& a);

in your Derived class.

A default assignment operator, however, is created:

Derived& operator=(const Derived& a);

and this calls the assignment operator from Base. So it's not a matter of inheriting the assignment operator, but calling it via the default generated operator in your derived class.
