    Types of inheritance include single, multiple, multilevel, hierarchical, hybrid, and multipath inheritance.

    • Single inheritance: a class inherits from only one base class.

    • Multiple inheritance: a class inherits from more than one base class.

    • Multilevel inheritance: a class inherits from a class which in turn inherits from another class.

    • Hierarchical inheritance: multiple classes inherit from a single base class.
