Questions and Answers

In object-oriented programming, what is inheritance?

The technique of encapsulating one class within another class

The act of copying all properties and behaviors from one class to another

The mechanism of basing an object or class upon another object or class, retaining similar implementation (correct)

The process of creating new classes without any connection to existing ones

What does a 'child object' acquire from a 'parent object' in inheritance?

Nothing, child objects do not inherit from parent objects

Only the properties, not the behaviors

All the properties and behaviors, except constructors, destructors, overloaded operators, and friend functions (correct)

Only the behaviors, not the properties

What is one of the main benefits of inheritance in object-oriented programming?

Avoid the need for creating new classes

Reuse code and create classes built upon existing classes (correct)

Restrict the use of existing classes

Create completely independent classes with no connection to existing classes

Study Notes

Inheritance in Object-Oriented Programming

Inheritance is a mechanism where a new class, the child or subclass, inherits the properties and behavior of an existing class, the parent or superclass.
A child object acquires all the fields and methods of the parent object, which enables code reuse and facilitates a more hierarchical organization of code.

Benefits of Inheritance

One of the main benefits of inheritance is code reuse, as a child class can reuse the code from the parent class and build upon it.

Limitations of Inheritance

A child object does not inherit the private members (methods and variables) of the parent object in most class-based object-oriented languages like C++.

Advantages of Inheritance in Programming

Inheritance allows programmers to create new classes and interfaces that build upon existing ones, facilitating the creation of complex systems and promoting software development efficiency.
