    Inheritance

     What is Inheritance?

     Inheritance is a feature in object-oriented programming that allows a class (child or


    derived class) to inherit methods, properties, and other characteristics from another
    class (parent or base class).
     This promotes code reuse and establishes a hierarchical relationship between classes.

     How is it used?

     A parent class defines common functionality.


     A child class extends the parent class and can override or add new functionality.

    Design a system for employees in a company. The system should have a base class Employee
    with common attributes like name and salary. There are specific types of employees:

    1. Full-time employees, who have an annual bonus.


    2. Part-time employees, who are paid hourly.

    Coding

    using System;

    // Base class Employee


    class Employee
    {
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public double BaseSalary { get; set; }

    public Employee(string name, double baseSalary)


    {
    Name = name;
    BaseSalary = baseSalary;
    }

    // Method to display employee details


    public virtual void DisplayDetails()
    {
    Console.WriteLine("Employee Name: " + Name);
    Console.WriteLine("Base Salary: $" + BaseSalary);
    }

    // Virtual method to calculate total pay


    public virtual double CalculateTotalPay()
    {
    return BaseSalary;
    }
    }

    // Derived class for Full-Time Employees


    class FullTimeEmployee : Employee
    {
    public double AnnualBonus { get; set; }

    public FullTimeEmployee(string name, double baseSalary, double annualBonus)


    : base(name, baseSalary)
    {
    AnnualBonus = annualBonus;
    }

    // Overriding CalculateTotalPay method


    public override double CalculateTotalPay()
    {
    return BaseSalary + AnnualBonus;
    }

    // Adding additional details specific to Full-Time Employees


    public override void DisplayDetails()
    {
    base.DisplayDetails();
    Console.WriteLine("Annual Bonus: $" + AnnualBonus);
    Console.WriteLine("Total Pay: $" + CalculateTotalPay());
    }
    }

    // Derived class for Part-Time Employees


    class PartTimeEmployee : Employee
    {
    public int HoursWorked { get; set; }
    public double HourlyRate { get; set; }

    public PartTimeEmployee(string name, double baseSalary, int hoursWorked, double


    hourlyRate)
    : base(name, baseSalary)
    {
    HoursWorked = hoursWorked;
    HourlyRate = hourlyRate;
    }

    // Overriding CalculateTotalPay method


    public override double CalculateTotalPay()
    {
    return BaseSalary + (HoursWorked * HourlyRate);
    }

    // Adding additional details specific to Part-Time Employees


    public override void DisplayDetails()
    {
    base.DisplayDetails();
    Console.WriteLine("Hours Worked: " + HoursWorked);
    Console.WriteLine("Hourly Rate: $" + HourlyRate);
    Console.WriteLine("Total Pay: $" + CalculateTotalPay());
    }
    }

    // Main program to demonstrate inheritance


    class Program
    {
    static void Main()
    {
    // Create a Full-Time Employee
    FullTimeEmployee fullTimeEmp = new FullTimeEmployee("Alice", 50000, 10000);
    Console.WriteLine("Full-Time Employee Details:");
    fullTimeEmp.DisplayDetails();

    Console.WriteLine();
    // Create a Part-Time Employee
    PartTimeEmployee partTimeEmp = new PartTimeEmployee("Bob", 1000, 20, 25);
    Console.WriteLine("Part-Time Employee Details:");
    partTimeEmp.DisplayDetails();
    }
    }

    Output

    Full-Time Employee Details:

    Employee Name: Alice

    Base Salary: $50000

    Annual Bonus: $10000

    Total Pay: $60000

    Part-Time Employee Details:

    Employee Name: Bob

    Base Salary: $1000

    Hours Worked: 20

    Hourly Rate: $25

    Total Pay: $1500

    Virtual keyword

    The virtual keyword in C# allows a method in a base class to be overridden in derived


    classes. This means the derived class can provide its own implementation of the method,
    customizing its behavior while still maintaining the same method signature.
