Line 6:
Classes are sometimes made non-subclasssable in this way if the author feels that it would not be useful or even undesirable for subclasses to be created from them. Moreover, in a compiled language, knowing that a class cannot be subclassed, may enable optimizations to be made.
Rather than sealing the entire class, it may be possible to just seal certain

Classes and functions can be sealed in C++ by using the '''final''' keyword.

3. Using the 'is' operator (i.e. a ''is'' C) to detect the type of 'a' wouldn't work here as this would return 'true' if 'a' were either a 'C' object or an object of a subclass of 'C'. It is possible to spoof the 'is' operator by overriding its normal behavior, though this is definitely not recommended!
