    Object-Oriented Programming (CS F213) : BITS Pilani

    Uploaded by

    SAURABH MITTAL
    This document discusses inheritance in Java. It defines inheritance and the terminology used, such as superclass, subclass, parent class and child class. It explains how a class can extend another class or implement an interface in Java. It provides examples of single inheritance, hierarchical inheritance, and multi-level inheritance. It also notes that Java does not support multiple inheritance by extending multiple classes but does support multiple inheritance by implementing multiple interfaces.

    Module III: Inheritance and Polymorphism in Java


    CS F213 RL 9.1: Inheritance Basics-I

    BITS Pilani Dr. Pankaj Vyas


    Department of Computer Science, BITS-Pilani, Pilani Campus
    CS F213 RL 9.1 : Topics

    Inheritance in Java

    2 Object-Oriented Programming (CS F213)


    Inheritance Basics

    Reusability is achieved by Inheritance


    Java classes can be Reused by Extending a class. Extending an
    existing class is nothing but reusing properties of the existing
    classes.
    The class whose properties are extended is known as super or base
    or parent class.
    The class which extends the properties of super class is known as
    sub or derived or child class
    A class can either extends another class or can implement an
    interface

    3 Object-Oriented Programming (CS F213)


    Javas Support For Inheritance
    By Extending a Class
    Syntax
    class class-name extends super-class-name
    {
    ..
    }
    Example
    class A
    {

    }// End of class A A <<super-class>>
    class B extends A
    {
    ..
    }// End of class B
    B <<sub-class>>

    4 Object-Oriented Programming (CS F213)


    Javas Support For Inheritance
    By Implementing an Interface
    Syntax
    class class-name implements interface-name
    {
    ..
    }
    Example
    interface A
    {

    }// End of interface A A <<interface>>
    class B implements A
    {
    ..
    }// End of class B
    B <<sub-class>>

    6 Object-Oriented Programming (CS F213)


    Multiple Inheritance in Java

    Java Does Not Support Multiple Inheritance by Extending


    Multiple Classes

    The Following Code is Wrong

    class A { } // End of class A


    class B { } // End of class B
    class C extends A, B
    Wrong Java Does not
    { Allow Multiple Class
    }// End of class C Extensions

    7 Object-Oriented Programming (CS F213)


    Multiple Inheritance in Java .

    Java Supports Multiple Inheritance by Implementing Multiple


    Interfaces

    The Following Code is Correct

    interface A { } // End of interface A


    interface B { } // End of interface B

    class C implements A, B Java Allows Multiple


    { Interface
    }// End of class C Implementations
