The Diamond Problem
Explore the diamond problem that arises in C++ when multiple inheritance causes ambiguity for compiler due to duplicated members. Understand how to resolve this issue using explicit qualification and virtual inheritance to ensure only one base class instance is inherited, enhancing code clarity and avoiding conflicts.

The diamond problem
When implementing multiple inheritance, you might run into a problem known as the diamond problem. The diamond problem occurs when a derived class inherits the same member from multiple parent classes. This causes ambiguity for the compiler.
Look at the following example. Press run and observe the compiler output. ...
