simple Inheritance problem

Question posted by: MrTang001@gmail.com (Guest) on November 8th, 2005 03:35 AM

How I can fix this problem?
I don't know why it alway prompted (first use this function). I have
use newDollars, newCents... to access the base class member variable.
And the member functions for Initialize() and Print(), is it function
overloading? it already have this functions in the base class.

Pls let me know what problem of its! Thx
