Struct inheritance in C++

Question

Can a struct be inherited in C++?

Answer 1

Yes, c++ struct is very similar to c++ class, except the fact that everything is publicly inherited, ( single / multilevel / hierarchical inheritance, but not hybrid and multiple inheritance ) here is a code for demonstration

#include
using namespace std;

struct parent
{
    int data;
    parent() : data(3){};           // default constructor
    parent(int x) : data(x){};      // parameterized constructor
};
struct child : parent
{
    int a , b;
    child(): a(1) , b(2){};             // default constructor
    child(int x, int y) : a(x) , b(y){};// parameterized constructor
    child(int x, int y,int z)           // parameterized constructor
    {
        a = x;
        b = y;
        data = z;
    }
    child(const child &C)               // copy constructor
    {
        a = C.a;
        b = C.b;
        data = C.data;
    }
};
int main()
{
   child c1 ,
         c2(10 , 20),
         c3(10 , 20, 30),
         c4(c3);

    auto print = [](const child &c) { cout<
