When two classes inherit from the same base and a fourth class inherits from both, you get the "diamond problem": two copies of the base and ambiguous member access. virtual inheritance fixes this by keeping a SINGLE shared base subobject.

Person (already written) has string role() const returning "person".

Create Student and Employee that each inherit from Person using VIRTUAL inheritance, and TeachingAssistant that inherits from both Student and Employee.

Because of virtual inheritance, role() on a TeachingAssistant is unambiguous. The program prints:
person

Do NOT write a main function.
