What is inheritance?..

Answer / sri

Inheritance is a type of relationship among classes, wherein
one class shares the structure or behaviour defined in one
(single inheritance) or more (multiple inheritance) other
classes. Inheritance defines a "kind of" hierarchy among
classes in which a sub class inherits from one or more
super-classes; a sub-class typically augments or redefines
the existing structure and behaviour of its super-classes.
