Program Plan Intro

Subclass:

  • One class is derived from another class. The subclass is the derived class, which means the subclass contains more information when compared with the superclass.
  • The subclass may not use all the methods of the superclass all the time. It uses only required methods.

Superclass:

  • The superclass is the base class or a parent class which is used to derive a new class.
  • The methods, functions and variables in the subclass are not used by the superclass.

Example:

Consider the example of superclass and subclass which is given below:

class Employee

{

//definition of superclass

}

class Manager extends Employee

{

//definition of subclass

}

Here, “Employee” is the superclass and “Manager” is subclass, which is extended from the superclass.

In your own words, describe the relationship between classes and objects
A loop that iterates across a list of objects is referred to as a for construct. As a consequence of this, it continues to operate forever as long as there are things to process. What are your thoughts on this matter?
What about renaming it "Object-Orientation"? The development of applications that emphasizes objects.
