Project

Object-oriented programming (OOP) has been around for decades. As the original object-oriented language, C# is a mainstay in the world of computer programming.

All the concepts of object-oriented programming that C# developers love to have in their arsenal are explained in detail along with relevant coding examples and exercises in this course.

This course is unique in its nature as it follows a project-based learning approach. Throughout the course, a real-world example of vending machine is followed to help the learners develop a firm understanding of the stated OOP concepts.

The learners will not only be able to play around with the project,  they’ll also be able to see all the concepts in action in this project.

Learn Object-Oriented Programming in C#

Now that you are familiar with the concepts of *objects* and *classes*, let’s discuss **inheritance** which is another key concept in *object-oriented programming*.

# Definition
**Inheritance** provides a way to create a new class from an existing class. The new class is a specialized version of the existing class such that it inherits all the *non-private* fields (*variables*) and *methods* of the existing class. The existing class is used as a starting point or as a *base* to create the new class.

# The *IS A* Relationship

After reading the above definition, the next question that comes to mind is, *when do we use inheritance?* Wherever we come across an ***IS A*** relationship between classes, we can use inheritance.


In this lesson, you will be introduced to Inheritance, a powerful concept in object-oriented programming.
