Inheritance
It is the mechanism in Java by which one class is allowed to inherit the
features(fields and methods) of another class.
Inheritance means creating new classes based on existing ones.
A class that inherits from another class can reuse the methods and
fields of that class. In addition, you can add new fields and methods
to your current class as well.

Terminologies
● Class: Class is a set of objects which shares common characteristics/ behavior and
common properties/ attributes.
● Super Class/Parent Class: The class whose features are inherited is known as a superclass
● Sub Class/Child Class: The class that inherits the other class is known as a subclass.The
subclass can add its own fields and methods in addition to the superclass fields and
methods.
● Reusability: Inheritance supports the concept of “reusability”, i.e. when we want to create
a new class and there is already a class that includes some of the code that we want, we
can derive our new class from the existing class.

How to Use Inheritance in Java?
The extends keyword is used for inheritance in Java. Using the
extends keyword indicates you are derived from an existing class.
Syntax
class DerivedClass extends BaseClass
{
//methods and fields
}

Example
import java.io.*;
class Employee {
int salary = 60000;
}
class Engineer extends Employee {
int benefits = 10000;
}
class Worker{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Engineer E1 = new Engineer();
System.out.println("Salary : " + E1.salary + "nBenefits : " + E1.benefits);
}
}

Types of Inheritance

Types of Inheritance
1. Single Inheritance
2. Multilevel Inheritance
3. Hierarchical Inheritance
4. Multiple Inheritance
5. Hybrid Inheritance

Single inheritance
A sub-class is derived from only one super class. It inherits the
properties and behavior of a single-parent class. Sometimes, it is also
known as simple inheritance.

// concept of single inheritance
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
class One {
public void print_class()
{
System.out.println("BCA cloud computing");
}
}
class Two extends One {
public void print_sec(){ System.out.println("Section B"); }
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Two g = new Two();
g.print_class();
g.print_sec();
}
}

Multilevel Inheritance
A derived class will be inheriting a base class, and as well as the
derived class also acts as the base class for other classes.

//multilevel inheritance
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
class One {
public void print_class() { System.out.println("BCA cloud computing"); }
}
class Two extends One {
public void print_sec(){ System.out.println(" Section B"); }
}
class Three extends Two{
public void print_CA(){ System.out.println(" Class Animator"); }
}
public class Main {
{
Three g = new Three();
g.print_class();
g.print_sec();
g.print_CA();
}
}

Hierarchical Inheritance
In Hierarchical Inheritance, one class serves as a superclass (base
class) for more than one subclass.

// Java program to illustrate the hierarchical inheritance
class A { public void print_A() { System.out.println("Class A"); }}
class B extends A { public void print_B() { System.out.println("Class B"); }}
class C extends A { public void print_C() { System.out.println("Class C"); }}
class D extends A { public void print_D() { System.out.println("Class D"); } }
public class Test {
{
B objB = new B();
objB.print_A();
objB.print_B();
C objC = new C();
objC.print_A();
objC.print_C();
D objD = new D();
objD.print_A();
objD.print_D();
}
}

Multiple inheritances
In Multiple inheritances, one class can have more than one superclass
and inherit features from all parent classes. Please note that Java
does not support multiple inheritances with classes. In Java, we can
achieve multiple inheritances only through Interfaces.

Hybrid Inheritance
It is a mix of two or more of the above types of inheritance. Since Java
doesn’t support multiple inheritances with classes, hybrid inheritance
involving multiple inheritance is also not possible with classes. In
Java, we can achieve hybrid inheritance only through Interfaces

Advantages of Inheritance
Code reusability
Abstraction
Class Hierarchy
Polymorphism

Disadvantages of Inheritance
Complexity
Tight Coupling

Overriding
Overriding is a feature that allows a subclass or child class to provide
a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by one
of its super-classes or parent classes.

// Java program to demonstrate
// method overriding in java
// Base Class
class Parent {
void show() { System.out.println("Parent's show"); }
}
// Inherited class
class Child extends Parent {
// This method overrides show() of Parent
@Override void show()
{
System.out.println("Child's show");
} }
// Driver class
class Main {
{
Parent obj1 = new Parent();
obj1.show();
Parent obj2 = new Child();
obj2.show();
}
}

Abstraction
Abstraction in Java refers to hiding the implementation details of a
code and exposing only the necessary information to the user.
It provides the ability to simplify complex systems by ignoring
irrelevant details and reducing complexity.
Abstraction allows developers to represent complex systems by
simplifying them into their essential characteristics while hiding
unnecessary implementation

Inheritance & interface ppt Inheritance

Abstract class example
1. abstract class Bike{
2. abstract void run();
3. }
4. class Honda extends Bike{
5. void run(){System.out.println("running safely");}
6. public static void main(String args[]){
7. Honda obj = new Honda();
8. obj.run();
9. }
10. }

Super Keyword
The super keyword in Java is a reference variable which is used to
refer immediate parent class object.
1. super can be used to refer immediate parent class instance
variable.
2. super can be used to invoke immediate parent class method.
3. super() can be used to invoke immediate parent class constructor.

class Animal{
String color="white";
}
class Dog extends Animal{
String color="black";
void printColor(){
System.out.println(color);//prints color of Dog class
System.out.println(super.color);//prints color of
Animal class
}
}
class Test2{
public static void main(String args[]){
Dog d=new Dog();
d.printColor();
}}

class Animal{
void eat(){System.out.println("eating...");}
}
void eat(){System.out.println("eating bread...");}
void bark(){System.out.println("barking...");}
void work(){
super.eat();
bark();
}
}
class Test3{
Dog d=new Dog();
d.work();
}}

class Animal{
Animal(){System.out.println("animal is created");}
}
Dog(){
super();
System.out.println("dog is created");
}
}
class Test4{
Dog d=new Dog();
}}

Interface
An interface in Java is a blueprint of a class. It has static constants
and abstract methods.
○ It is used to achieve abstraction.
○ By interface, we can support the functionality of multiple
inheritance.
○ It can be used to achieve loose coupling.

Syntax
1. interface <interface_name>{
2.
3. // declare constant fields
4. // declare methods that abstract
5. // by default.
6. }

The relationship between classes and interfaces

1. interface printable{
2. void print();
3. }
4. class A6 implements printable{
5. public void print(){System.out.println("Hello");}
6.
7. public static void main(String args[]){
8. A6 obj = new A6();
9. obj.print();
10. }
11.}

How to extend Interface
An interface extends another interface like a class implements
an interface in interface inheritance.
When one interface inherits from another, the sub-interface
inherits all of the methods and constants declared by the super-
interface.
It can declare new abstract procedures and constants.
To extend an interface, use the extends keyword

interface A {
void funcA();
}
interface B extends A {
void funcB();
}
class C implements B {
public void funcA() {
System.out.println("This is funcA");
}
public void funcB() {
System.out.println("This is funcB");
}
}
public class Demo5 {
public static void main(String args[]) {
C obj = new C();
obj.funcA();
obj.funcB();
}
}

Packages
Package in Java is a mechanism to encapsulate a group of classes, sub packages and interfaces.
Think of it as a folder in a file directory. We use packages to avoid name conflicts, and to write a better
maintainable code.
Packages are used for:
● Preventing naming conflicts.
● Making searching/locating and usage of classes easier.
● Providing controlled access
● Packages can be considered as data encapsulation

Built-in Packages
1. Java.lang
2. java.io
3. java.util
4. java.applet
5. java.awt
6. java.net

User Defined Packages
User-defined packages: These are the packages that are defined by the user.
First we create a directory myPackage Then create the MyClass inside the directory with the first
statement being the package names.
