This is how to use inheritance in java. Hopefully, what I've taught you will help you use inheritance in your java programs.

Inheritance is creating a generic object that other objects can use.

Inheritance in java can be tricky at first... But SURELY you'll get it :) If you followed along, congrats! You learned inheritance by-doing!

I hope you enjoyed this inheritance in java tutorial! I like to have a nice mix of java tutorials and actual projects for you all :)

I love how you start every video by calming us stressed-out students down. Really makes me feel better :)

"I know how to make a for loop... but how is that gonna help me make a mouse?" the most realest shit ever said

Went to a 1.5 hours university lecture to understand this. Professor ended up confusing everyone of us, we started stressing out. Came down on Youtube and found out this legendary channel. A 10 mins video to the point and precise and this topic is actually so simple! University is a scam fs

Hey alex...i was in the military and did HVACR work for the last 3 years but was looking for a career change to something more rewarding. i just started my coding bootcamp jan 13th, its a four month program. i have been watching your videos for extra study materials in the evening and they have been very helpful so far. i have also shared them with some classmates as well. keep up the good work!

This is literally the clearest explanation I've seen on the concept of inheritance. Have been struggling on this concept for almost a month.

Thanks man, you simplify things in a way that I can grasp

Spent one year in a coding bootcamp. Everything went over my head. 3 days with your videos and I feel like I could actually start looking for a coding job soon.

when he said "you're gonna be ok because I'm gonna walk you through" my heart felt that T_T #CoronaOnlineFinalzSuckkk

i've got a 4-hour java exam in an hour, watching your playlist in 2x speed, you da real mvp

[bscorvin]

It is strangely comforting to be told by the java tutorial I’m watching that I’ll be ok.

This was super helpful, especially during the quarantine that's going on right now. Definitely subscribing to your channel.

I'm in 10th grade, your videos not only boosted me 1 year above the rest of my class, but inspired me to work on my own projects which boosted me 2 years (and more) above my class.
Every time I hear "you probably have a test coming up", I think to myself "I do have a test coming up, in around a year"
I'm so happy I found you when I started learning by myself.

[marialois]

Reading a boring website with absolutely no design or creativity < Watching a fun youtube tutorial that actually grabs my attention.

Thank you!

[bubble]

best thing i’ve ever done is watch ur videos while i’m on break i feel like i’m still learning

[MrZeybel]

I have never thought that I would thank you to someone to feels me like I was an idiot. So, thank you Alex. You really helped a lot understanding its philosophy.

[juanpalmtree]

I cannot stress this enough, but your videos have helped me to understand things so much better! As noobish as this may sound, I'm taking a Coursera course and all the instructors/professors on there make ZERO sense to my pea brain. But then I come over here to watch your videos and I understand everything as if I was in middle school all over again. It just clicks so well! Thanks for your guides! (:

[tombean]

Nice one dude, you're so helpful, I started learning Java 3 days ago outside of school and am almost as confident as I was in python which I have been learning for 2

[RandomGuy]

Your examples are very calm and not complicated. Truly helpful.
