What are some advanced OOP concepts in C++?

Advanced OOP concepts in C++ include polymorphism, inheritance, encapsulation, and abstraction. Would you like to dive deeper into any of these?

Can you explain polymorphism with an example?

Sure! Polymorphism allows methods to do different things based on the object it is acting upon. For example, if you have a base class Shape with a method draw(), derived classes like Circle and Square can implement their own versions of draw(). When you call draw() on a Shape pointer that points to a Circle, it will execute the Circle's draw() method.

What about encapsulation? How is it implemented in C++?

Encapsulation is the bundling of data and methods that operate on that data within a single unit, or class. In C++, you can implement encapsulation using access specifiers like private, protected, and public to control access to class members.

Can you give me a real-world example of inheritance?

Certainly! Consider a class Vehicle with properties like speed and fuel. You can create derived classes like Car and Truck that inherit from Vehicle, allowing them to use its properties while also adding their own specific features.
