How would you stop a class from class from being derived or inherited...

Answer / srini

#define DO_NOT_DERIVE(T) \
class NoDerive_##T { \
friend class T;
\
NoDerive_##T() {}
\
NoDerive_##T(const NoDerive_##T&) {} \
};
#define stopderiving(T) private virtual NoDerive_##T

when we derive from any class, the constructor needs to be
called, since here constructor of NoDerive calss is
private, it cannot be derived. And friendship cannot be
inherited.
usage
class finalclass : stopderiving (finalclass)
{
....
};

the other possible solution for this is making the default
constructor private.

Question: Implement a base class Appointment and derived classes Onetime, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly. An appointment has a description (for example, “see the dentist”) and a date and time. Write a virtual function occurs_on(int year, int month, int day) that checks whether the appointment occurs on that date. For example, for a monthly appointment, you must check whether the day of the month matches. Then fill a vector of Appointment* with a mixture of appointments. Have the user enter a date and print out all appointments that happen on that date.
