Overview
• Objective: To understand the concept of
inheritance in programming, its importance,
and the various types.

• Key Points:
• - Basics of inheritance in object-oriented
programming (OOP).
• - Why inheritance is useful.
• - Types of inheritance with examples.
Introduction to Inheritance
• Definition: Inheritance is a feature in OOP that
allows a class (child class) to inherit properties
and behaviors (methods) from another class
(parent class).

• Purpose of Inheritance:
• - Promotes code reuse.
• - Establishes a relationship between classes.
• - Helps in creating a hierarchy of classes.
Types of Inheritance
• Types of Inheritance in OOP:
• - Single Inheritance
• - Multiple Inheritance
• - Multilevel Inheritance
• - Hierarchical Inheritance
• - Hybrid Inheritance
Single Inheritance
• Definition: A class inherits from only one
parent class.

• Example:
• - Parent Class: Animal
• - Child Class: Dog (inherits properties and
methods from Animal)
Multiple Inheritance
• Definition: A class inherits from more than
one parent class.

• Example:
• - Parent Classes: Engine, Transmission
• - Child Class: Car (inherits properties from
both Engine and Transmission)

• Note: Not all programming languages support


Multilevel Inheritance
• Definition: A class is derived from a class that
is already derived from another class, creating
a chain of inheritance.

• Example:
• - Grandparent Class: LivingThing
• - Parent Class: Animal (inherits from
LivingThing)
• - Child Class: Dog (inherits from Animal)
Hierarchical Inheritance
• Definition: Multiple classes inherit from a
single parent class.

• Example:
• - Parent Class: Vehicle
• - Child Classes: Car, Bike, Truck (all inherit from
Vehicle)
Hybrid Inheritance
• Definition: A combination of two or more
types of inheritance, typically hierarchical and
multiple inheritance.

• Example:
• - Parent Classes: Person, Employee
• - Child Class: Manager inherits properties from
Employee and potentially another class.
Summary
• Recap of Key Points:
• - Inheritance is a powerful feature in OOP that
promotes code reuse and establishes class
hierarchies.
• - Types of inheritance include Single, Multiple,
Multilevel, Hierarchical, and Hybrid.

• Conclusion: Understanding inheritance helps


in building scalable and efficient software.
