Featured Video from Introduction To Object Oriented Programming - Inheritance & Friends
In life we have a natural inheritance structure. In OOP we do also! We can create our own objects that inherit from one another. Over time we can have a world of harmonious lineage dating back to the first program we ever wrote. Nice huh?
If you want to create new species of a dog, for example, why would you start from scratch? You can create an object that contains all of the properties of all dogs. Then create your different species by inheriting from this base object and changing whatever you want. If you want to start another tree of lineage then create a new dog object that inherits from the object that inherits from the base dog object!! Now we’re getting crazy. But this is a natural phenomenon that we see on earth every day.
