This course teaches you the basics of polymorphism and inheritance, focusing on function and operator overloading and on creating class hierarchies. Throughout the course, you'll gain skills that help you build adaptable, reusable, object-oriented C++ code.

After completing this course, you'll be able to write C++ programs that:

1. Use special conversion member functions to convert from a user-defined type to a built-in type
2. Overload operators and member functions to give them additional meanings
3. Use derived classes, virtual functions, and abstract base classes to create class hierarchies
