Inheritance allows a derived class to inherit properties and methods from a parent or super class, so any changes made to the super class are automatically applied to the derived class. A derived class can have all the properties and methods of the super class as well as its own unique properties and methods. Inheritance is useful because it reduces code duplication and allows classes to share and extend behavior.

3. What it is
If there are certain properties or
methods you want to use in class, you
can get them from an existing class.

4. How it works
When you make a new class using
inheritance, the new class is called a
derived class.

5. Why we use it
The beauty in a derived class is that you
can always keep it up to date with the
super class because any changes you
make to the super class will be
automatically applied to the derived
class.
Another reason derived classes are
beautiful is because they can have all of
the super class properties and have
their own properties and methods.
