🚀 Week 5 of C++: Mastering C++ Inheritance and Git (Day 62 of Coding)

This week focused on strengthening core C++ concepts, especially inheritance and version control with Git. Here’s a quick recap of what I worked on:

🔗 Git Basics (Day 29)

Started the week by setting up Git and exploring essential commands:

• Initializing a repository and staging changes
• Committing with meaningful messages
• Resolving merge conflicts and understanding branching

Git is essential for tracking changes and collaborating on projects efficiently.

🔄 Single and Multilevel Inheritance (Day 30–31)

Explored how inheritance works in C++ and how constructors and destructors are handled:

• Single Inheritance – Understanding base and derived classes
• Multilevel Inheritance – Creating a hierarchy of inheritance

Understanding the constructor order and how inheritance affects object creation is key to building scalable applications.

📦 Multiple Inheritance and Ambiguity Resolution (Day 32–34)

Delved into complex inheritance structures and handling ambiguity:

• Scope resolution operator for resolving conflicts
• Virtual inheritance to avoid the diamond problem

Mastering these techniques is crucial for working with complex class hierarchies without ambiguity.

🎯 Virtual Base Classes (Day 35)

Explored virtual base classes to manage ambiguity in multiple inheritance:

• Prevents multiple copies of the same base class
• Ensures a single instance in complex inheritance hierarchies

Virtual inheritance simplifies the inheritance tree and avoids redundancy.

🔥 Key Takeaways

✅ Git helps track changes and collaborate effectively.

✅ Understanding constructor order in inheritance improves debugging.

✅ Virtual base classes are essential for resolving inheritance conflicts.

Next week, I’ll be focusing on polymorphism and operator overloading!
