why do we subclass QWidget when we are creating a new class?

@majeed
You subclass QWidget --- or perhaps some more specific widget derived from QWidget --- if you are designing a new class which will be/behave like a widget. So that you get widget behaviour & functionality.

However, if your new class has nothing to do with widgets, you wouldn't subclass from QWidget....

Its the parent.
When parent is deleted it will delete all other widget that it is parent for.
Its auto clean up as the link
