Inheritance & Polymorphism

  • Inheritance allows one class to extend another class
  • The class doing the extending is called the subclass
  • The class being extended is called the superclass
  • A subclass can override methods it inherits from its superclass
  • An abstract class can be extended but cannot be directly instantiated
  • Polymorphism ensures that the correct method is called for an object disguised as a more generic type
  • An interface only contains headings for methods; a class implements an interface

Inheritance & Polymorphism
