Thread: Inheriitance and Aggregation

What is the difference btn inheritance and aggregation when do u use one another?

Inheritance is used for an IS-A relationship.
Aggregation is used for a HAS-A relationship.

EG:
Cars, Scooters are vehicles. (Inheritance)

Car has a steering, wheel etc. (Aggregation)

In Inheritance, a class inherits the properties of the base class.
In Aggregation, a class uses the properties of some other class.

Inheritance is the process where one object acquires the feature of another
object. It depicts is-a relationship. Like car is-a vehicle.

Aggregation deals with Has-a relationship. For example car has engine..
here engine is an object which is a part of another object called car.
