Types of Inheritance

The document discusses the six types of inheritance supported by C++: Single, Multiple, Multilevel, Hybrid, Hierarchical, and Multipath Inheritance. It provides definitions and examples for Single, Multilevel, and Multiple Inheritance, illustrating how derived classes interact with base classes. Additionally, it briefly mentions Hybrid Inheritance and other types without detailed examples.

Types of Inheritance

C++ supports six types of inheritance

• Single Inheritance
• Multiple Inheritance
• Multilevel Inheritance
• Hybrid Inheritance
• Hierarchical Inheritance
• Multipath Inheritance
Single Inheritance

“A derived class with only one base class is


called single inheritance”

Class A

Class B
Inheritance (example)

#include <iostream> class Child : public Parent {


using namespace std;
};
class Parent{
public:
void myFunction()
{
cout << “Parent class“ << endl; int main() {
} Child myObj;
}; myObj.myFunction();
return 0;
}
Multilevel Inheritance

“A derived class with one base class and that base


class is a derived class of another is called
multilevel inheritance.”

Class A

Class B

Class C
Multilevel Inheritance

class Grand_Parent {
class Child : public Parent {
public: public:
void MyGrandParent() void Me()
{ {
cout << "Grand Parent class" << endl; cout << "Child class" << endl;
} }
}; };

class Parent : public Grand_Parent { int main() {


Child myObj;
public: myObj.MyGrandParent();
void MyParent() myObj.MyParent();
{ myObj.Me();
cout << "Parent class" << endl;
} return 0;
}; }
Multiple Inheritance

“A derived class with multiple base class is called


multiple inheritance.”

Class A Class B

Class C
Multiple Inheritance (example)

class MyClass { // Derived class


public: class MyChildClass : public MyClass, public MyOtherClass
void myFunction() { {
cout << “class 1“ << endl; };
}
};

// Another base class int main() {


class MyOtherClass { MyChildClass myObj;
public: myObj.myFunction();
void myOtherFunction() { myObj.myOtherFunction();
cout << “class 2" << endl; return 0;
} }
};
Hybrid Inheritance

“Inheritance in which the derivation of a class involves both


multilevel and multiple inheritance is called hybrid inheritance”

Class A

Class B Class C

Class D
Inheritance (example)

class C
class A
{
{
public:
public:
int y;
int x; int main()
C() {
}; {
y = 4;
} D obj1;
class B : public A obj1.sum();
};
{ return 0;
class D : public B, public C
public: }
{
B()
public:
{
void sum()
x = 10;
{
}
cout << "Sum= " << x + y;
};
}
};
Other types of Inheritance

Hierarchal Inheritance Multipath Inheritance
