Inheritance:

Definition

- It's a mechanism of consuming the members of one class in another class by


establishing Parent-Child relationship between the classes whisch provides re-
usability.

[<modifiers>] class<Child Class> : class <parent Class>

Parent Class - Base or Super Class

Child Class - Derived or Sub Class

class A
{
Members
}

class B:A
{
Consuming of members of A
}

Note: In inheritance child class can consume members of its parent class as if it
is the owner of those members (except private members of parent).

Rules:

1. Parent classes constructor must be accessible to child class, otherwise


inheritance will not be possible.

Example: Class1.cs*

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace InheritanceDemo
{
class Class1
{
public Class1()
{
Console.WriteLine("Class1 Construtor is called.");
}
public void Test1()
{
Console.WriteLine("Method 1");
}
public void Test2()
{
Console.WriteLine("Method 2");
}
}
}

Class2.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace InheritanceDemo
{
class Class2 : Class1
{
public Class2()
{
Console.WriteLine("Class2 Construtor is called.");
}
public void Test3()
{
Console.WriteLine("Method 3");
}
static void Main()
{
Class2 c = new Class2();

c.Test1();
c.Test2();
c.Test3();

Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

output:

Class1 Construtor is called.


Class Construtor is called.
Method 1
Method 2
Method 3

2. In inheritance child class can access parent classes members but parent classes
can never be accessed any member that is purely defined under the child class.

Example: Class1.cs*

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace InheritanceDemo
{
class Class1
{
public Class1()
{
Console.WriteLine("Class1 Construtor is called.");
}
public void Test1()
{
Console.WriteLine("Method 1");
}
public void Test2()
{
Console.WriteLine("Method 2");
}

}
}

Class2.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace InheritanceDemo
{
class Class2 : Class1
{
public Class2()
{
Console.WriteLine("Class Construtor is called.");
}
public void Test3()
{
Console.WriteLine("Method 3");
}
static void Main()
{
Class1 p = new Class1();

p.Test1();
p.Test2();

Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

Output:

Class1 Construtor is called.


Method 1
Method 2

3. We can initialize a parent classes variable by using the child class instance to
make it as a reference. So that the reference will be consuming the memory of child
class instance, but in this class also we can't call any pure child class members
by using the reference.
