Inheritance is the process of basing one class on another. In this process, a base class provides methods, properties, and other members to a derived class. The advantage of inheritance is that you can write and maintain code once it is in the base class and reuse it over and over in the derived classes

What you got from others is known as Inheritance. Inheritance is like share
properties between the Classes.


For instance, a "fruit" is a generalization of "apple", "orange", "mango" and
many others. One can consider fruit to be an abstraction of apple, orange, etc.


Conversely, since apples are fruit (i.e., an apple is-a fruit), apples may
naturally inherit all the properties common to all fruit, such as being a fleshy
container for the seed of a plant.

Inheritance involves building upon an existing class so that additional or more-specialised functionality is added.
A key design aspect of inheritance is that it is used in a manner which is understandable and supported by a clear, justifiable relationship.

Inheritance is one of the important principles of OOP.

Inheritance is the process by which one object acquires the properties of another object.

By use of Inheritance , an object need only define those qualities that make it unique within its class.It can inherit its general attributes from its parent.

If a given class encapsulates some attributes, then any subclass will have the same attributes plus any that it adds as part of its specialization.
