Inheritance in C++

Multiple inheritance
- More than one superclass (base class) is possible in C++
No interfaces in C++
- Interfaces in Java and C# compensates for the lack of multiple inheritance
Virtual functions and pure virtual functions
- Abstract classes are related to the presence of virtual functions
- Polymorphic behavior - dynamic binding - relies on access to objects via pointers or C++ references
Shared or replicated base classes
- Shared bases classes are called virtual bases classes
Access control to base classes
- Private, protected and public base classes
