Inheritance: What Are The Different Types of Inheritance?

Single inheritance allows a child class to inherit from a single parent class. Multiple inheritance allows a child class to inherit from multiple parent classes. There are advantages to inheritance such as code reuse and less reworking of code. Private inheritance makes the parent's public and protected members private in the child class, while public inheritance makes them public or protected. Protected inheritance makes the inherited members protected.

What are the different types of Inheritance?


Single Inheritance A (parent class) -> B (child class) Multiple Inheritance A -> C, B -> C Hierarchical inheritance A -> B, A -> C, A -> D Multilevel inheritance A -> B, B -> C Hybrid inheritance A -> B, A -> C, B -> D, C -> D.

What are the advantages of inheritance?

Advantages of Inheritance:

Allows the code to be reused as many times as needed. The base class once defined and once it is compiled, it need not be reworked. Saves time and effort as the main code need not be written again.

What is a downcast?

A downcast is a cast from a base class to a class derived from the base class. A downcast is only safe if the object addressed at runtime is actually addressing a derived class object.

What is Dynamic memory management for array?

Using the new and delete operators, we can create arrays at runtime by dynamic memory allocation.
What is a base class?

Inheritance is one of the important features of OOP which allows us to make hierarchical classifications of classes. In this, we can create a general class which defines the most common features. Other more specific classes can inherit this class to define those features that are unique to them. In this case, the class from which other classes are inherited is referred as base class.

What is overriding?
