Mastering C++ Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Exceptions

Understanding Object-Oriented Inheritance

Inheritance is a core pillar of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) that allows a new class (derived class) to inherit properties and behaviors (data members and member functions) from an existing class (base class).
