good design?

Posted by richard on January 07, 2001 at 10:42 AM

Hi

I am getting better at OOP design but far from an expert!

However, I would recommend you don't design your classes in this way (!) Would it not be better to have a super class of both worker and manager (employee, say). The shared methods that apply to both go in the super class, the methods particular to managers and workers go in those respective sub-classes.

If you give me more info about the functions you wish to implement I could try to help further...

regards

richard
