INHERITANCE IN JAVA


Inheritance is the property by which a child class inherits the property of parent class.

CHILD CLASS : It is the class which inherits property.

PARENT CLASS : It is the class from which property is inherited.

JAVA DOES NOT SUPPORT MULTIPLE INHERITANCE.

Inheritance Types in JAVA :
1. Single Inheritance
2. Multilevel Inheritance
3. Hybrid Inheritance
4. Hierarchical Inheritance

1) Single Inheritance : It is the property by which child class acquires the property from a parent class.

2) Multiple Inheritance : It is the property by which a class acquires property of parent class which in turn a       child class of another parent class.

3) Hybrid Inheritance : It is the combination of two or more inheritance types.

4) Hierarchical Inheritance : It is the inheritance in which two or more class are derived from a single parent       class. And the derived class is in turn a parent class of two or more child class and so on.
