Java Programming - Inheritance

Inheritance in Java allows one class to inherit properties like methods and fields from another class, forming a hierarchical relationship between classes. The subclass inherits from the superclass using the "extends" keyword, allowing the subclass to reuse methods and fields of the parent class and optionally add new ones. For example, a My_Calculation subclass could extend the Calculation superclass, inheriting its properties while also adding new methods and fields.
