adding inheritance

[rej3kt]

I've created a "customer" class and a "staff" class.

On the main menu, you choose weather you'd like to add information to the "customer" or "staff" class.

My question is, how on earth can I add inheritance into this?

Do they have any common members?
I suppose you could write a class human_being that would have a virtual void give_information(), and that would be the parent class of customer and staff.

Not sure what the virtual void thing does.

Need to research the code for inheritance but first I need to think what I'm going to use.

these are my members so far

Staff(char rank[], char annualWage[], float hours);

Customer(char name[], char gender[], int phone, char pcode[], float dob);

So if I made a human_being class then made staff and customer inherit from there. Customer could have like card number, amount of loyalty points and erm out of ideas now lol

well,

class human_being{/*nothing here*/};
class customer : public human_being{/*members*/};
class staff : public human_being{/*other members*/};

is still inheritance..

As for virtual functions see http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/polymorphism/
But if you don't know it, don't use it.
