What are the advantages of inheritance?..

Answer / sidhi.r

In OOPs, the concept of inheritance provides the idea of
reusability. This means that we can add additional features
to an existing class without modifying it.
This is possible by deriving a new class from the existing
one. The new class will have combined features of both the
classes.

What are the advantages of inheritance?..

Answer / hamid

Features or Advantages of Inheritance:

---Reusability:

Inheritance helps the code to be reused in many
situations. The base class is defined and once it is
compiled, it need not be reworked. Using the concept of
inheritance, the programmer can create as many derived
classes from the base class as needed while adding specific
features to each derived class as needed.

---Saves Time and Effort:

The above concept of reusability achieved by inheritance
saves the programmer time and effort. Since the main code
written can be reused in various situations as needed.

---Increases Program Structure which results in greater
reliability.

Answer / awais zahur

inheritance has two main advantages:
1.extendability
we can extend the already made classes by adding some new
features.
2.maintainability
it is easy to debug a program when divided in parts.
inheritance provides an opportunity to capture the problem

What are the advantages of inheritance?..

Answer / shiavni

inheritance is a process by which object of one class
acquire the properties from the object of another class.
the major advantage of inheritance is reusability which
means that we can add additional feauters into an existing
class without modifying it. this is possible by deriving a
new class from an existing one. i.e. creating new class
called derived class from an existing or created earlier
class called base class. the derived class will have the
combined features of both the classes.

What are the advantages of inheritance?..

Answer / axuu

Inheritance offers the following advantages --

Developement model closer to real life object model with
hierarchical relationships
Reusability -- facility to use public methods of base class
without rewriting the same
Extensibility -- extending the base class logic as per
business logic of the derived class
Data hiding -- base class can decide to keep some data
private so that it cannot be altered by the derived class

What are the advantages of inheritance?..

Answer / k.kirankumar

1.reusability(that is we can use same code in different
versions(class etc..)
2.avoids tyoing of code again and again(code compatability)
3.cost(in sense their no need compile same code for many
number times regardless of its usage)
4.maintance is very because the in inheritance formart is
in the modules so that it is easy to find the errors in
the small module instead of finding errors in many no.of
lines at time
5.the bove feature will reduce testing effort.
