Inheritance offers the following advantages --

  1. Developement model closer to real life object model with hierarchical relationships
  2. Reusability -- facility to use public methods of base class without rewriting the same
  3. Extensibility -- extending the base class logic as per business logic of the derived class
  4. Data hiding -- base class can decide to keep some data private so that it cannot be altered by the derived class

Inheritance allows you to propagate a classes' properties and methods into a child class which can then be extended to provide additional functionality. Its main advantage is code reuse, and the ability to extend black box objects about which you have little information, providing for supposedly improved modularity.
