C++ supports multiple inheritance. What is the diamond problem that can occur with multiple inheritance. ?

Question

plzz give an example

Answer 1

Think of a class A which has two subclasses: B and C. Let's say both B and C have a certain m() method (inherited from A) overriden with each of the two subclasses having different implementation of the method.
And you have another class D which inherits from B and from C.

It would look like this:
(slashes marking inheritance paths)

A
/ \
B C
\ /
D

Now, if you want to address the m() method of an object of class D - which m() implementation is inherited by D: the one from B or from C?

It is the so-called "diamond problem" because of the shape of the schema above. Different languages solve this problem differently (only those allowing multiple inheritance, of course).

Answer 2

Take a look here:

It mentions the diamond inheritance too.
