132. Vehicle Inheritance Public

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Vehicle {
public:
    void printCategory() {
        cout << "Generic Vehicle\n";
    }
};

class Car : public Vehicle {
public:
    void printCar() {
        cout << "Car Vehicle\n";
    }
};

int main() {
    Car c;
    c.printCategory();
    c.printCar();
    return 0;
}

Solution Explanation

• Car inherits from Vehicle using public inheritance.
• This makes printCategory() directly callable from a Car object.
• The derived class adds an additional behavior with printCar().
   

Layman’s Terms

A car is just a specialized vehicle. It inherits everything that makes it a vehicle and adds its own unique description.

Significance for Embedded Developers

This models situations like:

• A generic device driver (Vehicle) with common setup functions.
• A specific driver (Car) with extra configuration for that hardware.
