如何将变量传递给父级，同时返回输出值？ (C++)

Question

I have two classes that are of the same type. One class A will be the parent to the other class B.

Class A and Class B have identical functions since they are the same type.

I want to call from Class B a function from Class A that need a value and will return a void pointer.

Class A
{
    void * funct(inputInt);
}

Class B
{
  protected:
  Class* parent   // here in header I set the parent class to it during construction

  ////
  void* callFunction(int value)
       {
         return this->parent.funct(value); 
       }
}

How do I get something like this to work?

Answer 1

To answer your question the syntax for calling through a pointer is -> and is a feature of the pointer parent not on the return statement. Your fixed line should look like this:

return parent->funct(value);
