This document discusses inheritance in Java. It defines key terms like subclass, superclass, and reusability. It explains that a subclass inherits the properties and behaviors of its parent superclass. The syntax for inheritance in Java uses the "extends" keyword. The document provides two code examples to demonstrate inheritance - a Programmer subclass that inherits from an Employee superclass, and a My_Calculation subclass that inherits and extends the Calculation superclass with a new method.

2. Introduction
 Inheritance in Java is a mechanism in which one
object acquires all the properties and behaviors of a
parent object. It is an important part of OOPs(Object
Oriented programming system).
 The idea behind inheritance in Java is that you can
create new classes that are built upon existing classes.
 When you inherit from an existing class, you can reuse
methods and fields of the parent class.

3. Cont..
 Moreover, you can add new methods and fields in your
current class also.
 Inheritance represents the IS-A relationship which is
also known as a parent-child relationship.

4. Terms used in Inheritance
 Class: A class is a group of objects which have
common properties. It is a template or blueprint from
which objects are created.
 Sub Class/Child Class: Subclass is a class which
inherits the other class. It is also called a derived class,
extended class, or child class.

5. Cont..
 Super Class/Parent Class: Superclass is the class
from where a subclass inherits the features. It is also
called a base class or a parent class.
 Reusability: As the name specifies, reusability is a
mechanism which facilitates you to reuse the fields
and methods of the existing class when you create a
new class. You can use the same fields and methods
already defined in the previous class.

6. The syntax of Java Inheritance
 class Subclass-name extends Superclass-name
 {
 //methods and fields
 }
 The extends keyword indicates that you are making a
new class that derives from an existing class. The
meaning of "extends" is to increase the functionality.

7. Example1
 class Employee{
 float salary=40000;
 }
 class Programmer extends Employee{
 int bonus=10000;
 public static void main(String args[]){
 Programmer p=new Programmer();
 System.out.println("Programmer salary is:"+p.salary);
 System.out.println("Bonus of Programmer is:"+p.bonus);
 }
 }

8. Example2
 class Calculation {
 int z;

 public void addition(int x, int y) {
 z = x + y;
 System.out.println("The sum of the given numbers:"+z);
 }

 public void Subtraction(int x, int y) {
 z = x - y;
 System.out.println("The difference between the given
numbers:"+z);
 }
 }

9. Cont..
 public class My_Calculation extends Calculation {
 public void multiplication(int x, int y) {
 z = x * y;
 System.out.println("The product of the given numbers:"+z);
 }

 public static void main(String args[]) {
 int a = 20, b = 10;
 My_Calculation demo = new My_Calculation();
 demo.addition(a, b);
 demo.Subtraction(a, b);
 demo.multiplication(a, b);
 }
 }

10. Output
 The sum of the given numbers:30
 The difference between the given numbers:10
 The product of the given numbers:200
