Can you talk about inheritance?

Question

Accepted Answer

Inheritance is a mechanism in object-oriented programming where a new class is created by inheriting properties of an existing class.

Inheritance allows for code reuse and promotes code organization.
The existing class is called the parent or superclass, and the new class is called the child or subclass.
The child class inherits all the properties and methods of the parent class, and can also add its own unique properties and methods.
For example, a class Animal can be a parent class, and classes Dog and Cat can be child classes that inherit properties and methods from Animal.
Inheritance can be single, where a child class inherits from only one parent class, or multiple, where a child class inherits from multiple parent classes.
