Lecture Oop Inheritance

The document introduces Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and highlights its advantages, such as faster execution, clear program structure, and code reusability. It explains key OOP concepts including classes, objects, inheritance, abstraction, encapsulation, and polymorphism, with a focus on inheritance as a crucial feature for code reuse. Additionally, it discusses the terminology of inheritance, its implementation in C#, and the benefits of using inheritance in programming.

Introduction

to OOP
ADVANTAGES OF OOP

 Faster and easier to execute


 Provides a clear structure for the programs
 Makes the code easier to maintain, modify and debug
 Makes it possible to create reusable applications with less code and
shorter development time.
OOPS CONCEPTS

 Class
 Objects
 Inheritance
 Abstraction
 Encapsulation
 Polymorphism
INHERITANCE

 Classes divided into subclasses.


 The Animals can be divided into mammals, amphibians, insects, birds, etc.
 The vehicles can be divided into cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, etc.

 A new class of object derives properties and characteristics from another


class.
 It inherits properties from other classes.
 No need to write all the properties and functions again and again, as these
can be inherited from another class that possesses it.
 Allows the user to reuse the code whenever possible and reduce its
redundancy
INHERITANCE

 The capability of a class to derive properties and characteristics from


another.
 Inheritance is one of the most important feature of Object-Oriented
Programming.
 Inheritance is also called an is-a hierarchy.
 Inheritance is the key for code reuse.
–If a base class has been created, then a derived class can be
created to add more information
EXAMPLE : INHERITANCE
EXAMPLE
 Consider a group of vehicles.
 You need to create classes for Bus, Car and Truck.
 The methods fuelAmount(), capacity(), applyBrakes() will be same for all of the
three classes.
 If we create these classes avoiding inheritance then we have to write all of these
functions in each of the three classes.
INHERITANCE - TERMINOLOGY

 Sub Class:
–The class that inherits properties from another class is called Sub
class or Derived Class or Child Class.
 Super Class:
–The class whose properties are inherited by sub class is called
Super Class or Base Class or Parent Class.
IMPLEMENTING INHERITANCE IN C#
To inherit from a class, use the : symbol.
In the example below, the Car class (child) inherits the fields and methods from the Vehicle class
(parent)
OUTPUT ?
OUTPUT ?
OUTPUT ?
MULTILEVEL INHERITANCE

 A class can also be derived


from one class, which is
already derived from another
class.
 In the following example,
MyGrandChild is derived from
class MyChild (which is derived
from MyClass).
MULTIPLE INHERITANCE

 A class can also be derived from


more than one base class, using a
comma-separated list:
WHY USE INHERITANCE?

 Code Reusability: Inheritance allows you to reuse code that is already


written in the base class. This reduces redundancy and makes your
code easier to maintain.
 Hierarchical Relationships: It models real-world relationships naturally.
 Extensibility: You can extend the functionality of an existing class
without modifying it.
