Re: Calling base class constructor from derived class Copy constructor

Hi,

I am new to C++ and trying to understand how to work on Inheritance
and Operator overloading. I understand that the derived class can pass
the base class constructor in its constructor definition as following
code:

Car::Car(int id, int colorID, int type):Vehicle(id, colorID)
{
    this->type = type;
}

What I am having difficulty with, is, how do I call the base class
constructor when writing the copy constructor for the derived class?

Example:

Car::Car(const Car &rhs)
{
   //my code
}

Can I just add it as:

Car::Car(const Car &rhs):Vehicle(rhs.getID, rhs.getColor)
{
  this->type = rhs.type;
}

I'm not sure of the above code copy constructor code accuracy, but
would appreciate some guidance.
