How can a subclass call a superclass method with the same subclass method name?

Question

#include <iostream> using namespace std; class Person { public: void sing(); }; class Child : public Person { public: void sing(); }; Person::sing() { cout << "Raindrops keep falling on my head..." << endl; } Child::sing() { cout << "London bridge is falling down..." << endl; } int main() { Child suzie; suzie.sing(); // I want to know how I can call the Person method of sing here! return 0; } 

Answer 1

 suzie.Person::sing(); 

Answer 2

A child can use Person :: sign ().
