Understanding_of_Inheritance_in_Java_by_Quipoin.pptx

Inheritance in Java is a core OOP concept that allows a class (child) to inherit properties and behaviors (fields and methods) from another class (parent). It promotes code reusability, modularity, and scalability. Java supports single inheritance (one parent, one child) and multilevel inheritance (a chain of inheritance) but does not support multiple inheritance using classes to avoid ambiguity. The extends keyword is used for class inheritance, while implements is used for interfaces. The super keyword refers to the parent class. Types include single, multilevel, hierarchical, and hybrid (via interfaces) inheritance. Java’s Object class is the root of all classes.
