Inheritance vs. Composition
Explore the concepts of inheritance and composition in object-oriented programming using C++. Understand how inheritance models an is-a relationship while composition represents a has-a relationship. Analyze when to apply each approach to build flexible, reusable code structures and support new software components.

Code reusability is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming. We can achieve this by creating relationships between different classes. In this lesson, we will discuss two important concepts that are used for building relationships:
- Inheritance
- Composition
In inheritance, an object acquires the characteristics of one or more (in the case of multiple inheritances) objects. We extend the derived class from the base ...
