Design abstract bases that define interfaces for derived implementations.

Overload operators to make class types feel natural.

Inherit from more than one base class when truly needed.

Build A → B → C inheritance chains carefully.

Share one base across multiple derived classes.

Use dynamic polymorphism (virtual) and static polymorphism (templates/overloads).

Initialize objects with constructors, initializer lists, and overloads.

Release resources in destructors — foundation of RAII.

Use this to refer to the current object inside members.

Control visibility with public, private, and protected.
