Compiling a simple header with inline methods

I have a base class Student, and an inheriting class StudentAtA.

I define StudentAtA inside StudentAtA.h, and it overides some of the methods of Student.

For example, if Student has:

string returnUni() 
{
 return NULL;
};

Then I define inside StudentAtA.h an overriding method:

string returnUni() 
{
 return "A";
};

Since all the methods in StudentAtA are short, they're all implemented in the header file (I didn't create a StudentAtA.cpp file).

Now I have a Driver.cpp file which uses StudentAtA, and contains a main function. This is the executor.

Is it possible to compile Driver without having StudentAtA.cpp (just using the header)?

yes possible. Just make sure you include StudentAtA.h in your Driver.cpp
