    1815 and 1859 Inheritance in C++

    Uploaded by

    Vinay Gupta
    Inheritance in C++ allows for the creation of derived classes from base classes. Derived classes inherit all features of the base class and can add additional, specific features. This implements an "is-a" relationship where a derived class is a more specific type of the base class. The main advantages are code reusability, faster development, and easier maintenance. The types of inheritance in C++ include single, multiple, multilevel, hierarchical, and hybrid inheritance.

    INHERITANCE IN C++

    1815 – YASH THAKUR


    1859 – VINAY GUPTA
    What is an inheritance?

     Inheritance is the process by which new classes called derived classes are created from
    existing classes called base classes.
     The derived classes have all the features of the base class and the programmer can choose
    to add new features specific to the newly created derived class.
     The idea of inheritance implements the is a relationship. For example, mammal IS-A
    animal, dog IS-A mammal hence dog IS-A animal as well and so on.
    FEATURES/ADVANTAGES OF
    INHERITANCE

     Reusability of code.
     Saves time and effort.
     Faster development, easier maintenance and easy to extend.
     Capable of expressing the inheritance relationship and its transitive nature which ensures
    closeness with real world problems.
    DISADVANTAGES OF INHERITANCE

     Inherited functions work slower than normal function as there is indirection.


     Improper use of inheritance may lead to wrong solutions.
     Often, data members in the base class are left unused which may lead to memory wastage.
     Inheritance increases the coupling between base class and derived class.
    APPLICATIONS OF INHERITANCE

     The main purpose of introducing the inheritance is to “REUSE” your code and in the
    same way , when you reuse your code it means directly you OPTIMIZE your code and it
    will reduce your redundancy of your code.
     Inheritance is one of the fundamental features of object-oriented programming.
    The types of inheritance in c++

    1)Single inheritance.
    2)Multiple inheritance.
    3)Multilevel inheritance.
    4)Hierarchical inheritance.
    5)Hybrid inheritance.
     Single inheritance : It is defined as the inheritance in which a derived class is inherited
    from the only one base class. where ‘A’ is the base class, and ‘B’ is the derived class.
     Multiple inheritance : It is a feature of c ++ where a class can inherit from more than
    one classes.
     Multilevel inheritance : If a class is derived from another derived class then it is called
    multilevel inheritance. So in c++ multilevel inheritance , a class has more than one parent
    class.
     Hierarchical inheritance: When several classes are derived from common base class it is
    called hierarchical inheritance. In c++ hierarchical inheritance , the feature of the base
    class is inherited onto more than one sub class.
     Hybrid inheritance: The inheritance in which the derivation of a class involves more
    than one form of any inheritance is called hybrid inheritance. Basically in c++ hybrid
    inheritance is combination of two or more types of inheritance. It can also be called multi
    path inheritance.
