Inheritance in C# - Object oriented programming in C# - C# Basics

Показать описание

Inheritance in C# is a fundamental object-oriented programming (OOP) concept that allows a class (known as a subclass or derived class) to inherit properties and behaviors from another class (known as a superclass or base class). This enables code reuse, promotes modularity, and facilitates the creation of hierarchical relationships between classes.

Here's how inheritance works in C#:

Base Class (Superclass): The base class is the class that contains common properties, methods, and behavior shared by one or more subclasses. It serves as a blueprint for creating derived classes. In C#, a base class can be any non-sealed class.

Derived Class (Subclass): The derived class is a class that inherits properties and methods from the base class. It can extend the functionality of the base class by adding new members or overriding existing ones.
