Class Question...

[KyleMiles]

Okay, so I'm making a sprite class, and I am using SFML to do it. My question is what's the difference between doing:
class Sprite : public sf::Sprite

versus:

class Sprite
{
private:
sf::Sprite Foo;
};

And is there a clear benefit to doing one over the other? Thank you for any help you can give!

Yes.

This
class Sprite : public sf::Sprite
is used if you want to extend sf::Sprite i.e. overriding virtual functions

if not you might prefer this

class Sprite
{
private:
sf::Sprite Foo;
};

if you just want to use sf::Sprite. The benefit would be that Sprite is free to inherit from other classes

Thank you a lot!
