Here is something you all been waiting for to flame me :

statement
subclassing is same as inheritance
declaration
class A is a subclass if/when it inherits from class B
example:
class A : class B

statement
class A is called parent if/when class B is used as its variable

Con / pro expected... Variation of terminology is also expected. Sticking with the subject optional. If feasible, skip "declaration / definition" challenge. Cheers

No.

What's wrong with the IS-A and HAS-A terminology? Examples: A cat IS-A mammal A cat HAS-A tail

class Cat : Mammal // IS-A relationship
{
Tail tail_; // HAS-A relationship
};

To flame you we didn't need to wait for this. :-D

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

The problem with this example is that not all cats have a tail.

Then allow tail to be null and handle appropriately
