}

Output

Compilation error.

The reason for the compilation error is that the assignment is not allowed in case of a const

member. Then, can const data attributes associated with a class (i.e. all objects of same class) be

initialized? Yes, it is possible by using the initialisation list as follows.

CuboidMetal(char*n,float l,float b,float h, float hy ,float m,float a, const long num):brickNo(num)

{

bSuccess=false;

if( l > 0 ...
