    A base class is a class that has been designed to be inherited from. It should have virtual functions, some pure, and a virtual destructor as a minimum.
    A derived class is a class that has inherited from a base class. It may in turn also be a base class for a derived class further down the hierarchy.
    A public class is something ive never heard of. I reckon you mean the public part of a class which is just the class interface to outside clients.
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
