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!
