Inheritance in C++ 
Recall that inheritance is a means of specifying hierarchical relationships between types 
 
C++ classes? can inherit both data and function members?? from other (parent) classes? 
 
In addition, they inherit the "is a" relationship so that an object of a class? SortedList (which inherits from class? List) can be treated as an object of class? List in most cases 
 
Terminology: "the child (or derived) class? inherits (or is derived from) the parent (or base) class?."

Inheritance is the property by which one class can acquire the properties of objects of another class..

hi,

Inheritance is the process of creating a new class called derived class from the existing class called base class.

Inheritance can be described as the procee of creating new class from an existing class.
New class is called derived class and existing class is called base class.

Inheritance means the property of acquiring base class properties to an other class which is known as the derived class.The syntax for inheriting a class is: class

derived_class_name :
base_class_name , where access specifier denotes either public or protected.Even if you give private as the access specifier it only takes protected as the access specifier.The main advantage of inheritance is re-usability of code.Example consider a class defined for employees in a company in which the fields

name,date_of_birth,address,.. will be same for all the employees whereas depending upon their job title, some of the fields can change so if you want to program it out,

Code
class employees //base class


{


protected:


general_information()


{


get name;


get employee_id;


get address;


}


public:


....


....


};


class manager:protected employees //inherited class


{


...


general_information();


...


}


class accountant //inherited class


{


....


general_information();


....


}

Inheritance is a process to exess the property of exiting class which called base class and then create a new class is derived class. There are mainly 3 types.

1. Single inheritance
2. Multilevel inheritance
3. Multiple inheritance

Inheritance is the ability of once class to inherit the functionality of the base class and specialise it. Typically the relationship between the derived class and the base class is an "IsA" relationship. For example, a Teacher IsA Employee. The Teacher class is a specialisation of the Employee class.

Multiple Inheritance is not used in Java
