What is Inheritance in C++ Programming?

The 3 extra-ordinary features that are present in OOP are inheritance,

polymorphism, encapsulation. Inheritance has a predominant use in 

C++ because it is used for hierarchical classifications. In Inheritance

we create a general class that possesses all the key aspects.

We inherit various other classes from the above general class i.e 

parent class. The main types of inheritance are single inheritance,

multiple inheritance, hierarchical inheritance, multi level inheritance

and hybrid inheritance. For further reading go through  C++ complete
