Inheritance and its types
,• The capability of a class to derive properties and characteristics
from another class is called Inheritance.
• Inheritance is one of the most important features of Object-
Oriented Programming.
• Inheritance is a feature or a process in which, new classes are
created from the existing classes.
• The new class created is called “derived class” or “child class” and
the existing class is known as the “base class” or “parent class”.
The derived class now is said to be inherited from the base class.
• When we say derived class inherits the base class, it means, the
derived class inherits all the properties of the base class, without
changing the properties of base class and may add new features to
its own.
• These new features in the derived class will not affect the base
class. The derived class is the specialized class for the base class.
• Sub Class: The class that inherits properties from another class is
called Subclass or Derived Class.
• Super Class: The class whose properties are inherited by a
subclass is called Base Class or Superclass.
