Calling Base Class Methods
How can method defined in multiple base classes with same name be invoked from derived class simultaneously? class x { public: m1(); }; class y { public: m1(); }; class z: public x, public y { public: m1() { x::m1(); y::m1(); } }; 2007-02-26, 5533👍, 0💬

Swapping Variables
Can you write a program to interchange 2 variables without using the third one? a = 7; b = 2; a = a + b; b = a - b; a = a - b; 2007-02-26, 5509👍, 0💬
