C++ Developer - Section Overview - Inheritance and Polymorphism

This video tutorial builds on previously covered topics in object-oriented programming (OOP), focusing on inheritance, polymorphism, and enumerated types. It begins with a review of class design, exceptions, and file I/O, then delves into inheritance, explaining base and derived classes and access specifiers. The tutorial demystifies polymorphism, emphasizing its simplicity once inheritance is understood. It also introduces enumerated types (enums) and concludes with two practical projects: extending an animal class and a complex RPG character creation project, reinforcing the skills learned throughout the course.
