This project focuses on inheritance and polymorphism, using classes like ClapTrap, ScavTrap, FragTrap, and DiamondTrap to demonstrate single and multiple inheritance, including handling the diamond problem with virtual inheritance. It also covers function overriding to specialize behaviors in derived classes.

In the first exercise, we are required to create a basic class called ClapTrap, which can perform actions like attacking, taking damage, and repairing itself. The class also contains private attributes such as a name, hit points, energy points, and attack damage.
The second exercise builds upon the first by creating a new class, ScavTrap, which inherits from the ClapTrap class and introduces additional functionality, such as the guardGate method. ScavTrap also has different default values for its hit points, energy points, and attack damage attributes.
The third exercise introduces another class, FragTrap, which inherits from ClapTrap and adds its own functionality, such as the highFivesGuys method. FragTrap also has unique default values for its hit points, energy points, and attack damage attributes, differing from both ClapTrap and ScavTrap.
The fourth and final exercise introduces the DiamondTrap class, which inherits from both ScavTrap and FragTrap, combining attributes from each. Despite inheriting from two classes, it only has one grandparent class, ClapTrap, ensuring that only one instance of ClapTrap is created upon instantiation. Additionally, DiamondTrap uniquely updates the name of its grandparent class during construction.
