Reading Material & Notes
Inheritance
Inheritance allows a new class to acquire properties and behaviors from an existing class.
class Animal
{
public:
void eat()
{
cout << "Eating";
}
};
class Dog : public Animal
{
public:
void bark()
{
cout << "Barking";
}
};Inheritance promotes code reuse and supports hierarchical relationships between classes.
