10 - Inheritance
Inheritance is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) that allows a new class (subclass or derived class) to inherit properties and behaviors from an existing class (superclass or base class). This promotes code reuse and supports the creation of a hierarchy of classes. In Java, inheritance is achieved using the extends keyword.
Inheritance supports code organization, reuse, and the creation of class hierarchies. It allows for the creation of specialized classes (subclasses) based on more general classes (superclasses), promoting the concept of "is-a" relationships.
