Object Oriented Programming Inheritance: Fundamentals and Applications
About this ebook
In object-oriented programming, inheritance refers to the process of building one object or class off of another object or class while preserving the functionality of the original object or class. The formation of a hierarchy of classes can also be characterized as the process of deriving new classes from existing ones, such as a super class or a base class, and then organizing those classes into a hierarchy. An object that is generated through inheritance, known as a "child object," inherits all of the characteristics and actions of its "parent object," with the following exceptions: the constructors, destructors, overloaded operators, and friend functions of the base class. This is the case with the majority of class-based object-oriented programming languages. Inheritance gives programmers the ability to construct classes that are built upon existing classes, to specify a new implementation while preserving the same behaviors, to reuse code, and to independently extend original software via public classes and interfaces. Inheritance also enables programmers to create classes that are built upon existing classes. A directed acyclic graph is produced when the relationships between objects or classes are established through inheritance.
