Using an environment chain model to teach inheritance in C++

Published: 27 February 2002 Publication History

Abstract

Inheritance is a central topic in most introductory object-oriented programming courses and frequently the most challenging for students to comprehend. The difficulties students experience often center around the rather complicated and obscure dynamic method invocation algorithms used in languages like C++ and Java. We present a visual model for teaching inheritance that captures the essential aspects of these algorithms yet is easy for students to comprehend and apply.
