 INHERITANCE

• Derive quality and characteristics from parents or ancestors.

• Like you inherit features of your parents.
• one of the fundamental features of object-oriented programming
• The process of obtaining the data members and methods from one class
to another class is known as inheritance
• Show the relationship between two or more classes.
• Inheritance makes the code reusable

 BASE---->DRIVE

• The class whose properties are

inherited by other class is called
the Parent or Base or Super
class.
• And, the class which inherits
properties of other class is called
Child or Derived or Sub class

 ADVANTAGE

• Application development time is less

• Application take less memory.
• Application execution time is less.
• Redundancy (repetition) of the code is reduced or minimized

 INHERITANCE VISIBILITY
MODE
• Depending on Access modifier used while inheritance, the availability of class
members of Super class in the sub class changes.
1. Public Inheritance
• the protected member of super class becomes protected members of sub class and
public becomes public.
2. Private Inheritance
• the protected and public members of super class become private members of derived
class.
3. Protected Inheritance
• the public and protected members of Super class becomes protected members of Sub
class.
