Inheritance: Masking

This lecture introduces the concept of inheritance and masking in object-oriented programming using C++. The instructor explains how classes can inherit attributes and methods from other classes, with a focus on the specific case of the 'Warrior' class. The lecture covers examples of inheritance, such as the 'Warrior' class having its own unique method for interacting with other characters. It also discusses the concept of masking in a hierarchy, where an identifier can hide another. The instructor demonstrates how to access a masked method or attribute, providing examples of how a 'Warrior' character can both greet and attack another character. The lecture concludes with practical examples and syntax for accessing masked methods in C++.
