Notes

• The syntax class Child: public Parent is the basic syntax for inheriting the class Parent in the class Child
• A constructor Child(args): Parent(args) is the syntax for calling a parent class constructor while defining the child constructor.
• protected works the same way as it does in Java, we just need to define all protected variables in their own protected: block
• Methods can be overridden, and the method versions of the parent class can be called with the Parent::method syntax
