HI,

When a Derived Class object is assigned to Base class, the

base class' contents in the derived object are copied to

the base class leaving behind the derived class specific

contents. This is referred as Object Slicing.

Class Base

;

class Derived : public Base

;

int main()

{

Base Bobj;

Derived Dobj;

Bobj = Dobj; //Here Dobj contains both i and j.

//But only i is copied to Bobj.

}

Reward Points if found helpfull..

Cheers,

Chandra Sekhar.
