  4. Encapsulation
  5. Inheritance
  6. Encapsulation + inheritance + polymorphism
  7. Run-time polymorphism vs. parametric polymorphism
  8. Inheritance Goals
  9. What is inheritance?
  10. Inheritance example
  11. Inheritance interactions
  12. protected class members
  13. Constructing a derived class
  14. Constructing a derived class example
  15. Access levels for inheritance
  16. Inheritance and friendship

  21. More things to watch out for
  22. Ways to use inheritance
  23. Inheritance of mix-ins
  24. More on Inheritance and Polymorphism
  25. The basic idea: redirecting calls
  26. Virtual functions
  27. Possible alternative: Faking it
  28. Using virtual functions
  29. Pure virtual functions
  30. Under the covers
  31. Virtual destructors
  32. Two forms of inheritance
  33. Pure interfaces
  34. C++ way of conversions between types
  35. Safer casting with static_cast
  36. Safer casting with dynamic_cast
  37. Unrelated types conversion: reinterpret_cast
  38. const cast away: const_cast
  39. Mistakes and pain caused by careless overriding of virtual and non-virtual functions
  40. Inheritance advice
