Problem with class variable in inheritance

[ChimpFace9000]

Class one has the variable "float ops[3]" and it uses it through out the class. Class two has the variable "float ops[4]" and class two inherits class one. From class two, how do i make anything in class one that uses ops[3] use class two's ops[4]? Let me know if further explanation is needed.

You need to declare ops[4] as public or protected variable in class1 once.

Your derived class2 can use it.

I don't think it is possible to have 2 same variable name in your case, your compiler will get confused which one you are refering.

It's possible, use explicit namespace qualifyers:

void Class2::somefunc()
{
  ops[2] = 3.2; // Class2::ops
  Class1::ops[1] = 18.6; // inherited Class1::ops
}

It might be necessary to write Class2:ps, in case the compiler reports ambiguity errors.
