Now I understand this principle to be, if we have some methods in base class, then we also need to implement the methods in derived class. My understanding correct?

But the description is not common senses.

structural subtype is that eventhough u didnot inherit from base class, class superTypeA, if u r implementing all the functions in every class you are able to apply the property, class propertyQ.

What means "if u r implementing all the functions in every class" and "you are able to apply the property, class propertyQ"? What do you mean all the functions and every class?

My stupid before.

void propertyQ(superTypeA *obj)
{
	obj->operate1();
}

subTypeA objA;
subTypeB objB;

propertyQ(&objA);
propertyQ(&objB); // error C2243: 'type cast' : conversion from 'subTypeB
