In this session, students will learn about inheritance in object-oriented programming (OOP). Specifically, students will learn the following:
What inheritance is: Inheritance is a mechanism that allows one class to inherit properties and behaviours from another class.
Base and derived classes: Students will learn about the relationship between base classes and derived classes and how to create a derived class that inherits from a base class.
Overriding methods: Students will learn about method overriding, which allows a derived class to provide its own implementation for a method inherited from the base class.
Reusing code: Students will learn how inheritance can be used to reuse code and reduce the amount of duplicated code in a software system.
By the end of this Session, students will have a strong understanding of inheritance and its role in OOP. They will be able to use inheritance to build hierarchical class structures, reuse code, and create objects that are flexible and easy to maintain.
