1. Aim of the practical: To Study The Execution Of Inheritance

And Its Different types.

2. Tool Used:VS Code

3. Theory:
Inheritance in Java is a mechanism that allows one class to inherit the properties and methods of another
class. This promotes code reuse and establishes a natural hierarchical relationship between classes. The
class that inherits from another class is called a subclass (or derived class), and the class being inherited
from is called a superclass (or base class).
A. Single Inheritance in Java

Single inheritance is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) where a class inherits
properties and behaviors from a single parent class. This mechanism promotes code reusability and
hierarchical class structures.

Key Points

 Parent Class (Super Class): The class from which properties and methods are inherited.
 Child Class (Sub Class): The class that inherits from the parent class.
 Inheritance Keyword: extends is used to establish the inheritance relationship.

Syntax

class ParentClass {
// Parent class members (fields and methods)
}

class ChildClass extends ParentClass {

// Child class members (fields and methods)
}

B. Multi-level Inheritance

 Involves a chain of classes where one class inherits from another, which in turn inherits from
another class.

Syntax

class GrandparentClass {
// Grandparent class members
}

class ParentClass extends GrandparentClass {

// Parent class members
}

class ChildClass extends ParentClass {

// Child class members
}

C. Hierarchical Inheritance

 Multiple subclasses inherit from a single superclass.

Syntax

class ParentClass {
// Parent class members
}

class ChildClass1 extends ParentClass {

// Child class 1 members
}

class ChildClass2 extends ParentClass {

// Child class 2 members
}

4. Code for Different types of Inheritance

A. Single Inheritance.

class Vehicle {

public void startEngine() {

System.out.println("Vehicle engine started!");

class Car extends Vehicle {

public void accelerate() {

System.out.println("Car is accelerating!");

public void startEngine() {

System.out.println("Car engine started with a roar!");

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Car car = new Car();

car.startEngine();

car.accelerate();

}

B. Multi-level Inheritance.

class Adam {

public void adam() {

System.out.println("My name is Adam");

class Philip extends Adam {

public void philip() {

System.out.println("My name is Philip");

class Peter extends Philip {

public void peter() {

System.out.println("My name is Peter");

class Amir extends Peter {

public void amir() {

System.out.println("My name is Amir");

class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Amir obj = new Amir();

obj.adam();

obj.philip();

obj.peter();

obj.amir();

C. Hierarchical Inheritance.

class Animal {

void eat() {

System.out.println("Animal is eating");

class Dog extends Animal {

void bark() {

System.out.println("Dog is barking");

class Cat extends Animal {

void meow() {

System.out.println("Cat is meowing");

}

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Dog dog = new Dog();

Cat cat = new Cat();

dog.eat();

dog.bark();

cat.eat();

cat.meow();
