Inheritance is a fundamental concept of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) that enables a new class to inherit the properties and methods of an existing class. This feature promotes code reusability and creates a parent-child relationship between classes.
In object-oriented programming, inheritance is the mechanism of basing an object or class upon another object (prototype-based inheritance) or class (class-based inheritance), retaining similar implementation.
There are different types of inheritance viz., Single inheritance, Multiple inheritance, Multilevel inheritance, hybrid inheritance, and hierarchical inheritance. Single Inheritance: When a derived class inherits only from one base class, it is known as single inheritance.
