Inheritance
Inheritance lets you create new classes that reuse, extend, and modify behavior defined in existing classes. Like how a sedan and a truck both inherit the basic properties of a vehicle (engine, wheels, steering) but add their own specializations, inheritance establishes an 'is-a' relationship that reduces code duplication while enabling specialization.
Use Cases
- •Building a hierarchy of UI components that share common rendering logic
- •Creating specialized payment processors that extend a base payment handler
- •Modeling game entities where all characters share movement but differ in abilities
- •Extending framework base classes to customize behavior (e.g., custom error types)
