8.
Java program to understand the concept of inheritance
ALGORITHM
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Create a class Employee with required variables name, age, phone no, address and
salary.
Step 3: Define method displayEmployeeDetails() in employee class to display all employee
details.
Step 4: Create a subclass of class Employee named Manager. Include the variable
specialization in manager class.
Step 5: Define method displayManagerDetails() in manager class which calls the
displayEmployeeDetails() of superclass and then prints the specialization of manager.
Step 6: Create another subclass of class Employee named Officer. Include the variable
department in Officer class.
Step 7: Define method displayOfficerDetails() in officer class which calls the
displayEmployeeDetails() of superclass and then prints the department of officer.
Step 8: Create a class with the main function.
Step 9: Inside the main function read the details of manager from user and create an object
of manager class.
Step 10: Print the manager details by calling the method displayManagerDetails() of
subclass, which invokes the method displayEmployeeDetails() of superclass.
Step 11: Inside the main function, next read the details of officer from user and create an
object of officer class.
Step 12: Print the officer details by calling the method displayOfficerDetails() of subclass,
which invokes the method displayEmployeeDetails() of superclass.
Step 13: Stop
INFERENCE
Understood the concept of inheritance in java by creating a super class and then inheriting
two sub classes from it. Called methods of the subclasses from the main method which
inturn invokes the methods of super class.
