Inheritance and Polymorphism in Java

    INHERITANCE AND POLYMORPHISM IN JAVA Inheritance and polymorphism are two important concepts in object-oriented programming, particularly in Java. Both concepts are used to create relationships between classes and can help make code more efficient, readable and easier to maintain. In this blog, we will explore the differences between inheritance and polymorphism and their usage in Java. Inheritance in Java: Inheritance is a mechanism in Java that allows a class to inherit properties and behaviors from another class. The class that is being inherited from is called the parent or super class, and the class that is inheriting is called the child or sub class. Inheritance allows the child class to reuse code from the parent class and also enables the child class to add its own unique properties and behaviors. Syntax : In Java, the syntax for inheritance is as follows: Here, the keyword ‘extends' is used to establish inheritance between the child and parent class. The child class h
