I get some compiler warnings for my program concerning unused variables, and I would like to know what is an appropriate way to fix this.
I have a function that gets inherited by the base class, and in the implementation of the function for the parent I don't use all parameters that are needed for the child; of course this leads to warnings, and as I am not an experienced programmer I am not sure what is the best way to fix those warnings.
So an minimal example would be:
In the header:
class car{
public:
virtual void init(int color, int size)
private:
int size;
}
class sportscar : public car{
public:
virtual void init(int color, int size)
private:
int color;
int size;
}
In the source file:
void car::init(int color, int size){
this->size = size;
}
void sportscar::init(int color, int size){
this->color = color;
this->size = size;
}
All you need to do is to not name them in the implementation:
void car::init(int /* color */, int size){
this->size = size;
}
