C# Inheritance

What is Inheritance?

Inheritance allows one class to inherit fields and methods from another class.

This helps reduce code duplication and creates a relationship between classes.

Output:

In C#, a child class inherits from a parent class using the : symbol.

The child class automatically gets access to all public members of the parent class.

Output:

Once a class inherits from another, it can use its methods without redefining them.

This allows you to reuse existing functionality.

Output:

A child class can also define its own methods in addition to inherited ones.

This allows the child class to extend the functionality of the parent.

Output:

A child class can override a method from the parent class to provide its own behavior.

The parent method must be marked virtual, and the child uses override.

Output:

The base keyword refers to the parent class.

It can be used to call parent methods or constructors.

Output:

When a child object is created, the parent constructor runs first.

You can use base() to pass values to the parent constructor.

Output:

Inheritance helps organize code and promotes reuse.

Create a Vehicle class with a Start() method. Then create a Car class that inherits from Vehicle and uses the method.

Output:
