Class Reuse & Relations | Data Structures for C++, Interlude 5

Dan illuminates the more advanced uses of inheritance, polymorphism, and abstract base classes in C++, for when there's an "is-a" relationship. But consider the alternative strategy of classes containing other classes (aggregation), for cases where the "has-a" relationship is more appropriate. #inheritance #polymorphism #aggregation #datastructures #cpp This series follows the Frank Carrano textbook, Data Abstraction & Problem Solving with C++: Walls and Mirrors. We recommend this book as a useful resource for the sophomore-level programmer. Lectures are aligned with the 7th Edition text, but other close editions will serve as well. Dan teaches in the CUNY/Kingsborough Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
