Inheritance
Definition of Inheritance

Super class
Base class Person name,age
Parent class Inheritance

Sub class
Derived class id, roomno
Teacher
Child class

• Inheritance is the process where one class posses the properties of another class.
• Inheritance is used for code reusability.
• To implement parent-child relationship
Inheritance
Definition of Inheritance

A class can be defined as a "subclass" of another class.


 The subclass inherits all data attributes of its
superclass
 The subclass inherits all methods of its superclass
 The subclass inherits all associations of its
superclass

The subclass can:


• Add new functionality (getY())
• Use inherited functionality (getX())
• Override inherited functionality (getArea())
Inheritance
Definition of Inheritance

When an object is created using new, the system


must allocate enough memory to hold all its
instance variables.
This includes any inherited instance variables

In this example, we can say that an Employee "is


a kind of" Person.
An Employee object inherits all of the attributes, methods
and associations of Person
What really
Inheritance happens?
Definition of Inheritance

Person Person
- name: String name = "John Smith"
- dob: Date dob = Jan 13, 1954
Employee
name = "Sally Halls"
is a kind of
dob = Mar 15, 1968
Employee employeeID = 37518
- employeeID: int salary = 65000
- salary: int startDate = Dec 15,
- startDate: Date 2000
Inheritance
Inheritance is declared using the "extends"
keyword
If inheritance is not defined, the class extends a class
called
publicObject
class Person {
Person
- name: String
private String name;
- dob: Date
private Date dob;
[...]

public class Employee extends Person


{ Employee
private int employeID; - employeeID: int
private int salary; - salary: int
private Date startDate; - startDate: Date

[...]

Employee anEmployee = new Employee();


Inheritance
Types of Inheritance
Types of Inheritance

There is no limit to the number of


subclasses a class can have

There is no limit to the depth of


the class tree.
Each Java class has one (and only
one) superclass.
C++ allows for multiple
inheritance
Constructors and
Initialization
• Classes use constructors to initialize instance variables
• When a subclass object is created, its constructor is
called.
• It is the responsibility of the subclass constructor to
invoke the appropriate superclass constructors so
that the instance variables defined in the superclass
are properly initialized

• Superclass constructors can be called using the "super"


keyword in a manner similar to "this"
• It must be the first line of code in the constructor

• If a call to super is not made, the system will


automatically attempt to invoke the no-argument
constructor of the superclass.
Constructors - Example
public class BankAccount
{
private String ownersName;
private int accountNumber;
private float balance;

public BankAccount(int anAccountNumber, String aName)


{
accountNumber = anAccountNumber;
ownersName = aName;
}
[...]
}

public class OverdraftAccount extends BankAccount


{
private float overdraftLimit;

public OverdraftAccount(int anAccountNumber, String aName, float aLimit)


{
super(anAccountNumber, aName);
overdraftLimit = aLimit;
}
}
Method overriding - Example
public class BankAccount
{
private String ownersName;
private int accountNumber;
protected float balance;

public void deposit(float anAmount)


{
if (anAmount>0.0)
balance = balance + anAmount;
}
public void withdraw(float anAmount)
{
if ((anAmount>0.0) && (balance>anAmount))
balance = balance - anAmount;
}

public float getBalance()


{
return balance;
}
}
Method overriding - Example

public class OverdraftAccount extends BankAccount


{
private float limit;

public void withdraw(float anAmount) // Overriding method


{
if ((anAmount>0.0) && (getBalance()+limit>anAmount))
balance = balance - anAmount;
}

}
