Inheritance in Java is a mechanism in which one object acquires
all the properties and behaviors of a parent object.
It is an important part of OOPs (Object Oriented programming system).
Java Inheritance (Subclass and Superclass)
In Java, it is possible to inherit attributes and methods from one class to another. We group the "inheritance concept" into two categories:
subclass (child) - the class that inherits from another class
superclass (parent) - the class being inherited from
To inherit from a class, use the extends keyword.
class Vehicle {
protected String brand = "Ford"; // Vehicle attribute
public void honk() { // Vehicle method
System.out.println("Tuut, tuut!");
}
}
class Car extends Vehicle {
private String modelName = "Mustang"; // Car attribute
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a myCar object
Car myCar = new Car();
// Call the honk() method (from the Vehicle class) on the myCar object
myCar.honk();
// Display the value of the brand attribute (from the Vehicle class) and the value of the modelName from the Car class
System.out.println(myCar.brand + " " + myCar.modelName);
}
}
public class Parent
{
//methods and constructors
}
public class Child extends Parent
{
//inherits methods from Parent class
}
Inheritance is the mechanism where the object of one class acquires the property of the object of another class.
Super class:
public class Multi(){
}
Sub class:
public class Multiplication extends Maltil(){
}
