Study Notes
- Inheritance in Java allows a class (subclass/child) to inherit properties/behaviors (fields/methods) from another class (superclass/parent).
- It facilitates code reusability and method overriding.
Basic Syntax
extends
is the keyword used to implement inheritance.- A
Parent
class contains adisplay()
method. - A
Child
class extends theParent
class and contains ashow()
method. - The
Child
class inherits thedisplay()
method from theParent
class.
Key Terms
extends
: Keyword to create inheritance.Superclass
: The class being inherited (Parent).Subclass
: The class that inherits (Child).super
: Keyword to refer to the superclass.
Types of Inheritance in Java
- Single, Multilevel, and Hierarchical inheritance are supported in Java.
- Multiple inheritance is not supported for classes directly but can be achieved through interfaces.
Example of Multilevel Inheritance
- Class
B
inherits from ClassA
. - Class
C
inherits from ClassB
. - Class
A
has methodmethodA()
. - Class
B
has methodmethodB()
. - Class
C
has methodmethodC()
.
super
Keyword Example
- The
super
keyword is used to call the superclass's method. - In the
Child
class,super.display()
calls thedisplay()
method of theParent
class.
