I don't see anything wrong with the code.
Assigning a derived class object to a base class object is legal.

I don't think so. The pointer P is initialized to point to c ,which is the pointer of an child object instead of the object itself. That means it should be
Parant *p = *c;
or
Parant *p;
p = c;
Correct me if I'm wrong.

=======================
(1) Parent *p=c;
=======================
(2) Parent *p; p=c;
=======================
(1) is same as (2)

Parant *p = *c;
The above cannot happen. It will give compiler error

The is-a relationship is satisfied. Since a child is a parent by derivation, the code is valid.

First, the format for derived inheritant is single colon not double.
Second, the base class should defines a virtual destructor.

shouldn't u typecast the child pointer to parent pointer type? even if it works, then probably as a good coding style?
