Gain insights into fundamental and advanced C# programming concepts. Learn about conditional statements, loops, methods, arrays, classes, inheritance, interfaces, and delegates through practical challenges.

This course introduces you to fundamental programming concepts in C#, one of the most popular languages in the world. The highly interactive course begins with a simple Hello world program and proceeds on to cover common concepts such as conditional statements, loop statements, and methods in C#. It also reflects upon the idea of arrays as well as the power they give to the programmer to write better code. Finally, it dives deeper in order to teach about advanced concepts such as classes, inheritance, interfaces, and delegates in C# through interactive challenges and exercises.

C# for Programmers: A Practical Guide

# What is Inheritance

* Provides a way to create a **new** class from an **existing** class.

* **New** class is a *specialized* version of the **existing** class.

* Allows the **new** class to **overload** *methods* from the **existing** class.


# Terminology
* **Base Class**(or Parent): *inherited* by **child** class.
* **Derived Class**(or child): *inherits* from base class.

# Characteristics

A **derived** class has:

* All *members* defined in the **derived** class.
* All *​members* declared in the **base** class.

A **derived** class can:

* Use all `public` members defined in the **derived** class.
* Use all `public` members defined in the **base** class.
* **Override** an *inherited* member

A **derived** class cannot: 
* *Inherit* *constructors* and **destructors** 
* Change the *definition* of an *inherited member*


 
# Notation

Let's take a look at the notation for these **two** types.

This lesson discusses inheritance in detail as well as constructors in derived and base classes
