C++ : Base class member function not accessible from derived class
Hello All,
I am a learner in C++. I was testing my inheritance knowledge with following piece of code.

Code:
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class base
{
	public :
		void display()
		{
			cout << "In base display()" << endl;
		}
		void display(int k)
		{
			cout << "In base display(int k)" << endl;
		}
};

class derived : public base
{
	public :
		void display()
		{
			cout << "In derive display()" << endl;
		}
};

int main()
{
	derived der;	
	der.display(50);
}


As far as I know it should compile without giving any error. But that is not the case as it is giving compilation error saying :-

Code:
StaticMember_1.cpp: In function ‘int main()':
StaticMember_1.cpp:30: error: no matching function for call to ‘derived::display(int)'
StaticMember_1.cpp:21: note: candidates are: void derived::display()

Can you guys help me out in finding why its giving error. there must be some concept here which I am missing.
Thanks in advance all of you.

Regards,
Anand Shah

moose::object

Moose::Object(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					  Moose::Object(3)

NAME

       Moose::Object - The base object for Moose

VERSION

       version 2.0604

DESCRIPTION

       This class is the default base class for all Moose-using classes. When you "use Moose" in this class, your class will inherit from this
       class.

       It provides a default constructor and destructor, which run all of the "BUILD" and "DEMOLISH" methods in the inheritance hierarchy,
       respectively.

       You don't actually need to inherit from this in order to use Moose, but it makes it easier to take advantage of all of Moose's features.

METHODS

       Moose::Object->new(%params|$params)
	   This method calls "$class->BUILDARGS(@_)", and then creates a new instance of the appropriate class. Once the instance is created, it
	   calls "$instance->BUILD($params)" for each "BUILD" method in the inheritance hierarchy.

       Moose::Object->BUILDARGS(%params|$params)
	   The default implementation of this method accepts a hash or hash reference of named parameters. If it receives a single argument that
	   isn't a hash reference it throws an error.

	   You can override this method in your class to handle other types of options passed to the constructor.

	   This method should always return a hash reference of named options.

       $object->does($role_name)
	   This returns true if the object does the given role.

       $object->DOES($class_or_role_name)
	   This is a a Moose role-aware implementation of "DOES" in UNIVERSAL.

	   This is effectively the same as writing:

	     $object->does($name) || $object->isa($name)

	   This method will work with Perl 5.8, which did not implement "UNIVERSAL::DOES".

       $object->dump($maxdepth)
	   This is a handy utility for "Data::Dumper"ing an object. By default, the maximum depth is 1, to avoid making a mess.

       $object->DESTROY
	   A default destructor is provided, which calls "$instance->DEMOLISH($in_global_destruction)" for each "DEMOLISH" method in the
	   inheritance hierarchy.
