    Study Notes

    Inheritance in Object-Oriented Programming

    • Inheritance is a concept in object-oriented programming that allows a class to inherit attributes and methods from another class.
    • The "is a" relationship is an important concept in object orientation and is classified as an inheritance relationship.
    • In UML class diagrams, the inheritance relationship is expressed by means of an association line with an empty arrowhead at the end pointing to the superclass.

    Superclass and Subclass

    • A superclass is a class from which other classes are derived.
    • A subclass is a class that is derived from a superclass and inherits its attributes and methods.
    • A subclass specializes a superclass by implementing improved functionality with additional attributes and methods.

    Inheritance in UML Class Diagrams

    • Inheritance is expressed by means of an association line with an empty arrowhead at the end pointing to the superclass.
    • The inheritance relationship is transitive, meaning the attributes of an ancestor class are passed down to all child classes.

    Inheritance in Java

    • In Java, inheritance is implemented with the keyword "extends" in the declaration of a class.
    • A subclass "extends" a superclass when it defines or modifies new attributes and methods.
    • The inheritance relationship in Java starts from the derived class, just like the direction of the association arrow in UML class diagrams.

    Assignment Compatibility

    • Assignment compatibility means that a variable of the type of a superclass can also be assigned subclass objects.
    • Each book is a product and can be handled as such, but not every product is a book.

    Overriding

    • The process of implementing an inherited method is called overriding.
    • Methods can be overridden in subclasses by creating a method with the same signature and implementing a new method body.
    • Overriding allows subclasses to adapt the implementation of inherited methods for their purposes.
