Inheritance
Get familiar with the concept of inheritance and its type with implementation.
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 public attributes (variables) and methods of the existing class. The existing class is used as a starting point or base to create the new class.
The IS-A relationship
After reading the definition above, the next question that comes to mind is, “when do we use inheritance?” Wherever we come across an IS-A relationship between objects, we can use inheritance.
