C++ interview question - Coggle Diagram

- - - - depending on implementation
  - - - because destructor cannot be overloaded, it cannot have arguments
  - - - available for classes, but only if they have at least one virtual function
      - Downcast and Upcast
      - dynamic_cast keyword
  - - - implicit conversion
        
        by constructor
        
        by fundamental types
      - explicit conversion
        
        c-like conversion
        
        is unsave to use, especially with classes and pointers, because c like conversion has no check if we reiterpreting a type
        
        dynamic_cast
        
        cool for upcasting a class, performs checks in runtime to return valid object.
        
        performs action on references and pointers
        
        requires RTTI
        
        static_cast
        
        can perform downcasting but unsafe
        
        converts fundamental types
        
        uses constructor to convert classes
        
        reinterpret_cast
        
        converts any pointer type to any pointer type, even unrelated, just binary copying
        
        const_cast
        
        removes or sets constness
        
        typeid
        
        get type_info class from any data type, we can compare types with this
        
        uses RTTI
