Understanding how classes are laid out in memory is essential for optimization, debugging, and interfacing with other languages.
Constructors initialize objects and allocate resources. Destructors clean up when objects are destroyed. Together they enable RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization).
Multiple inheritance allows a class to inherit from multiple base classes. This enables combining functionality but introduces complexity, especially the diamond problem.
