⚫ Inheritance in java is a mechanism in which one
object acquires all the properties and behaviors of
parent object.
⚫ The idea behind inheritance in java is that you can
create new classes that are built upon existing
classes.
⚫ When you inherit from an existing class, you can
reuse methods and fields of parent class, and you can
add new methods and fields also.
⚫ Inheritance represents the IS-A relationship, also
known as parent-child relationship.
