Inheritance

The document explains different types of inheritance in object-oriented programming: Single inheritance allows a derived class to inherit from one base class; Multi-level inheritance creates a chain of derived classes; Hierarchical inheritance involves multiple derived classes from one base class; and Hybrid inheritance combines various types of inheritance to model complex relationships, often facing issues like the Diamond Problem which can be resolved with virtual inheritance.

Single Inheritance:

Single inheritance is a type of inheritance in which a derived class inherits from a single base class. It
allows the derived class to reuse and extend the functionality of the base class.

Hybrid Inheritance:

Hybrid inheritance is a combination of two or more types of inheritance, such as single, multiple,
multilevel, or hierarchical inheritance. It is used to model complex relationships between classes. The
most common issue in hybrid inheritance is the Diamond Problem, which occurs when multiple
inheritance leads to ambiguity. This is typically resolved using virtual inheritance.

Multi-Level Inheritance:

Multi-level inheritance is a type of inheritance where a class is derived from another derived class.
This creates a chain of inheritance where each derived class inherits from its immediate parent, and
ultimately, the properties and methods of the base class are accessible to all derived classes in the
hierarchy.

Hierarchical Inheritance:

Hierarchical inheritance is a type of inheritance where multiple derived classes inherit from a single
base class. Each derived class can add its own unique functionality while inheriting the common
features of the base class.

Hybrid Inheritance:

Hybrid inheritance is a combination of two or more types of inheritance in a single program. This
means that the inheritance structure may include any mix of single, multiple, multilevel, or
hierarchical inheritance. Hybrid inheritance allows modeling more complex relationships between
classes.
