OOP - Java

In everyday speech, inheritance means receiving assets, property, or characteristics from someone else, typically from a family member (such as a parent). The inheritor (such as a child) can use these as they are or modify them as needed. For example, imagine a child inherits a car from a parent. The child can use the car as it was inherited or modify its features as needed. However, once the car has been modified, it is no longer possible to revert to the exact original state of the car. In programming, when we modify inherited features and behaviors, the original structure remains unchanged. We can always access the original version of the inherited class without affecting its original state. This concept is analogous to inheritance in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). In Java, inheritance can occur in several scenarios: class – class (extends) class – abstract class (extends) class – interface (implements) abstract class – interface (implements) interface – interface (extends) more...
