INHERITANCE

Session - 1

CREATED BY K. VICTOR BABU

 AIM OF THE SESSION

To familiarize students with the basic concept of

Object oriented programming with Java Language

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES

This Session is designed to:

1. Demonstrate Inheritance

LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of this session, you should be able to:

Summarize all concepts of inheritance

CREATED BY K. VICTOR BABU

 SESSION INTRODUCTION

Inheritance can be defined as the

process where one object acquires
the properties of another. With the
use of inheritance, the information
is made manageable in a
hierarchical order.
CREATED BY K. VICTOR BABU
 SESSION DESCRIPTION 

The idea behind inheritance in java is

that you can create new classes that are
built upon existing classes. When you
inherit from an existing class, you can
reuse methods and fields of parent
class, and you can add new methods
and fields also.

 SESSION DESCRIPTION (Cont..)

IS-A is a way of saying : This object is a

type of that object. Let us see how the
extends keyword is used to achieve
inheritance.
Inheritance represents the IS-A
relationship, also known as parent-
child relationship.
CREATED BY K. VICTOR BABU
 SESSION DESCRIPTION (Cont..)

Why use inheritance in java

 For Method Overriding (so runtime
polymorphism can be achieved).

 For Code Reusability.

SESSION

class Employee{  
float salary=40000;  
}  
class Programmer extends Employee{  
 int bonus=10000;  
 public static void main(String args[]){  
   Programmer p=new Programmer();  
   System.out.println("Programmer salary is:"+p.salary);  
   System.out.println("Bonus of Programmer is:"+p.bonus);  
}  
}  
Output:
Programmer salary is:40000.0Bonus of programmer is:10000

 TERMINAL QUESTIONS

•Develop Animal, Monkey and Human classes in the hierarchy with three
level multilevel inheritance. Write atleast one method in each class and
Methods of the Monkey class must be overridden in Human class.
Declare objects fro all three classes, all respective methods, write outputs?

•Write a java program Employee as super class with salary as instance

variable and a derived class Programmer with bonus as instance variable.
Create an object for Programmer and print salary and bonus,
give all necessary data.
