Explore OOP in C++ to write cleaner, modular, and scalable code. Learn classes in C++, data hiding, encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism in C++.

Become  a C++ Programmer

This module aims to teach us how to write cleaner, more modular, and scalable code in C++ by providing an understanding of OOP in C++. We'll start with the basics of object-oriented programming and build up to advanced concepts such as inheritance, data hiding, and polymorphism. Along the way, we'll explore how each concept applies to C++ and how various C++ features facilitate OOP.

Object-Oriented Programming in C++

## The diamond problem
When implementing multiple inheritance, you might run into a problem known as the __diamond problem__. The diamond problem occurs when a derived class inherits the same member from multiple parent classes. This causes ambiguity for the compiler. 

Look at the following example. Press run and observe the compiler output.
