Program Plan Intro

Inheritance:

  • Inheritance is the concept of inheriting the members and properties of a base class to the derived class.
    • The main advantages of inheritance are,
      • Code reusability and fast implementation.
      • Reduces the size of the program code.
    • There are five types of inheritance:
      • Single inheritance
      • Multiple inheritance
      • Hierarchical inheritance
      • Multilevel inheritance
      • Hybrid inheritance
    • If a subclass inherits a base class, then the member functions and data members of the super class can be accessed by the derived class.
      • But the derived class does not inherit the constructors from the base classes; each derived class should contain individual constructors.
