What are inheritance and polymorphism in C++?

Can you explain inheritance in C++?

Inheritance in C++ allows a class to inherit properties and methods from another class, promoting code reusability.

What is polymorphism and how does it work in C++?

Polymorphism in C++ enables methods to do different things based on the object that it is acting upon, often using virtual functions.

Can you give me an example of both inheritance and polymorphism?

Sure! For inheritance, consider a base class 'Animal' and a derived class 'Dog'. For polymorphism, you can have a function that takes an 'Animal' pointer and calls a method that behaves differently for 'Dog'.

How do I implement these concepts in my code?

You can implement inheritance using the ':' syntax for class declaration and polymorphism using virtual functions to override methods in derived classes.
