inheritance

INHERITANCE:-Inheritance is the process of code re-usability, using this property software or applications can develop in less time or can develop rapidly. Inheritance increases the readability of code and decrease redundancy or repetition of code or reduces size of code.
Use of previously developed code in future any number of times is called inheritance. Through inheritance variables and methods of class can inherited.

Types of Inheritance:-
1)      Single or Single level inheritance
2)      Multilevel inheritance
3)      Hierarchical inheritance

Java does not support to multiple inheritance.

Single or single level inheritance:-In a single inheritance a class is inherited by a single class. In a single or single level inheritance a sub class having only one super class directly or indirectly.
Syntax: -        class Subclass extends Superclass
Here extends is a keyword used for inheritance in java language.

Example1:-Sum of two numbers without using inheritance.


class Student
{
int a,b;
void sum()
{
a=10;
b=20;
System.out.println("sum= "+(a+b));
}
public static void main(String[]args)
{
Student s=new Student();
s.sum();
}
}

Output:-

C:\JAVATECH>javac Student.java
C:\JAVATECH>java Student

sum= 30


Here Student class have a code to do sum of two numbers, if another class like Test want to perform same operation (sum of two numbers) than Test class minimum required two variables for holding values and a function to perform addition of variables.


Example2:-Student.java


class Test
{
int a,b;
void add()
{
a=100;
b=200;
System.out.println("sum of = "+(a+b));
}
}
class Student
{
int a,b;
void sum()
{
a=10;
b=20;
System.out.println("sum= "+(a+b));
}
public static void main(String[]args)
{

Student s=new Student();
s.sum();
Test t=new Test();
t.add();
}
}

Output:-

C:\JAVATECH>javac Student.java
C:\JAVATECH>java Student

sum= 30
sum of = 300


In the above example both the classes perform same operation and sum method of Student class, add method of Test class having same code or duplicate code.


Example3:- Sum of two numbers using inheritance.

class Test extends Student
{
}
class Student
{
int a,b;
void sum()
{
a=10;
b=20;
System.out.println("sum= "+(a+b));
}
public static void main(String[]args)
{

Student s=new Student();
s.sum();
Test t=new Test();
t.sum();
}
}

Output:-

C:\JAVATECH>javac Student.java
C:\JAVATECH>java Student

sum= 30
sum= 30


Example4:- Sum of two numbers using inheritance.


class Student
{
int a,b;
void sum()
{
a=10;
b=20;
System.out.println("sum= "+(a+b));
}
public static void main(String[]args)
{

Student s=new Student();
s.sum();
Test t=new Test();
t.sum();
}
}
class Test extends Student
{
}

Output:-

C:\JAVATECH>javac Student.java
C:\JAVATECH>java Student
sum= 30
sum= 30


Example5:- Sum of two numbers using inheritance (Test1.java).


class Student
{
int a,b;
void sum()
{
a=10;
b=20;
System.out.println("sum= "+(a+b));
}
}
class Test extends Student
{
}
class Test1
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
Test t=new Test();
t.sum();
}
}

Output:-

C:\JAVATECH>javac Test1.java
C:\JAVATECH>java Test1


sum= 30

Inner classes

Inner Classes:- class inside class or interface called inner class or nested class. Advantage of inner classes is grouping multiple classes and interfaces into a single class. Another big advantage of inner class is that inner class can happily access all the data or variables of outer class directly. Types of Nested classes:- There are two types of nested classes static and non-static nested classes. (A)Non –static inner classes:- 1)     Member inner class 2)     Anonymous inner class 3)     Local inner class (B)Static nested class Example1:-Outer.java class Outer { class Inner { void disp() { System.out.println("Hello This is Inner class Method"); } } public static void main(String[]args) { Inner in=new Inner(); in.disp(); } } Output:- C:\JAVATECH>javac Outer.java Outer.java:12: error: non-static variable this cannot be referenced from a static context Inner in=new Inner(); ...

Inheritance-4

Example10:- class Student { Student() { System.out.println("This is super class Zero argument constructor"); } Student(String s) { System.out.println("This is super class One argument constructor"); } } class Test extends Student { Test() { super(null); System.out.println("This is sub class Zero argument constructor"); } public static void main(String[]args) { Test t=new Test(); } } Output:- C:\JAVATECH>javac Test.java C:\JAVATECH>java Test This is super class One argument constructor This is sub class Zero argument constructor Example11:- class Student { Student() { System.out.println("This is super class Zero argument constructor"); } Student(String s) { System.out.println("This is super class One argument constructor"); } } class Test extends Student { Test() { super(); super(null); System.out.println("This is su...

Small concept about OOPs

Some small concept about OOPs:- In many books and website write about OOPs concepts as hundred percent object oriented, pure object oriented and partial object oriented language. Hundred percent object oriented:- In the hundred percent object oriented movie hero is object, without object program is incomplete that means can not execute program without object. Without class and object programming or application development is not possible. Example of hundred percent object oriented language is  Smalltalk . Pure object oriented:- In the object oriented cinema obviously object is the hero. In pure object oriented language object having same importance but in this having some relax that is without creating object we can successfully execute our application. So in the object oriented programming without class we cannot create or run our application, class is must. Example of pure object oriented language is  Java . Partial object oriented:- In this type of la...
