What is Inheritance?
Explore the concept of inheritance in C++ to understand how derived classes inherit data members and functions from base classes. This lesson helps you grasp IS-A relationships, enabling efficient code reuse and better organization through practical examples of Vehicle, Car, and Ship classes.
