Discussion: No single most general class in C++
What about interfaces in C++?
Interfaces are well-known from Java and C#, but they do not appear in C++
Why do Java and C# have Interfaces?
Because Java and C# do not support multiple inheritance
Interfaces are the
poor man's remedy
for not having multiple inheritance
How do we make an Interface in C++?
Program a class with only pure virtual functions
A sample C# interface.
The C++ counterpart to the C# Interface.
A C++ class that 'implements the interface' and uses the resulting class.
