• Code Discussion (Examples)
INHERITANCE
The capability of a class to derive
properties and characteristics from
another class is called Inheritance
SIGNIFICANCE OF INHERITANCE

Code Reusability Extensibility and Scalability

Promotes Hierarchical Classification

Reduces Development Time Maintainability

PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATIONS
MULTILEVEL INHERITANCE
// Base class (parent)
class MyClass {
public:
void myFunction() {
Parent Class
cout << "Some content in parent
class." ;
}
Inherits
};

// Derived class (child)


class MyChild: public MyClass {
Child Class 1
};

// Derived class (grandchild)


Inherits
class MyGrandChild: public MyChild {
};

int main() {
Child Class 2
MyGrandChild myObj;
myObj.myFunction();
return 0;
}
MULTIPLE
// Base class
INHERITANCE
class MyClass {
public:
void myFunction() {
cout << "Some content in parent
class." ;
}
};
// Another base class
class MyOtherClass {
Parent Class 1 Parent Class 2
public:
void myOtherFunction() { Inherits
cout << "Some content in another Inherits
class." ;

};
}
Child Class
// Derived class
class MyChildClass: public MyClass, public M
yOtherClass {
};
int main() {
MyChildClass myObj;
myObj.myFunction();
myObj.myOtherFunction();
SINGLE INHERITANCE
// Base class
class Animal {
public:
void eat() {
cout << "This animal eats food." << endl; A
}
}; Inherits
// Derived class (inherits from Animal)
class Dog : public Animal {
public:
B
void bark() {
cout << "The dog barks." << endl;
}
};
int main() {
Dog myDog;

myDog.eat(); // Inherited from Animal


myDog.bark(); // Own method
return 0;
}
