Inheritance C#

The document explains inheritance in object-oriented programming, highlighting its role in allowing a child class to inherit properties and methods from a parent class. It details various types of inheritance in C#, including single, multilevel, hierarchical, and interface inheritance, while noting that C# does not support multiple inheritance for classes. Additionally, it introduces polymorphism, describing its two types: compile-time and run-time polymorphism.

What is inheritance?
 Inheritance is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming that allows a
child class to inherit the properties from the superclass
 The new class inherits the properties and methods of the existing class and can also
add new properties and methods of its own.
 Inheritance promotes code reuse, simplifies code maintenance and improves code
organization.

 Derived Class: The class that inherits the other class is known as a subclass(Derived
class, extended class or child class).The subclass can add its fields and methods in
addition to the superclass properties.
 Parent Class: The class whose features are inherited is known as SuperClass(base
class or parent class).
Example:

 The output will be: Eating


Barking

Types of inheritance
 In C#, inheritance is a key concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) that allows
you to create a new class (derived class) based on an existing class (base class). C#
supports several types of inheritance:

1. Single Inheritance: This is when a class inherits from only one base class.
Example:

2. Multilevel Inheritance: This is when a class is derived from another derived


class.
Example:
C# Group Assignment

3. Hierarchical Inheritance: This is when multiple classes inherit from a single


base class.
Example:

4. Interface Inheritance: This is when a class inherits from an interface (or multiple
interfaces). C# supports multiple inheritance through interfaces, meaning a class
can implement multiple interfaces.
Example:
C# Group Assignment

Note: that C# does not support multiple inheritance for classes (i.e., a class cannot inherit
from more than one base class), but it does support multiple interface inheritance.

Polymorphism
 Polymorphism means "many forms", and it occurs when we have many classes that
are related to each other by inheritance.
 Inheritance inherit fields and methods from another class. Polymorphism uses those
methods to perform different tasks. This allows us to perform a single action in
different ways.
 There are two types of polymorphism: compile-time (method overloading) and run-
time (method overriding).
A. Compile-time Polymorphism (Method Overloading)
 This occurs when multiple methods in the same class have the same name but
different parameters (number or type of parameters).
Example:

B. Run-time Polymorphism (Method Overriding)


 This occurs when a derived class has a method with the same name and signature as a
method in the base class, and the derived class can provide a specific implementation
for that method.
