inheritance Definition and Types in c#

 inheritance Definition and Types in c#

In C#, it is possible to inherit fields and methods from one class to another. We group the "inheritance concept" into two categories:

Derived Class (child) - the class that inherits from another class

Base Class (parent) - the class being inherited from

what is inheritance in c#:

Inheritance is one of the fundamental attributes of object-oriented programming. It allows you to define a child class that reuses (inherits), extends, or modifies the behavior of a parent class. The class whose members are inherited is called the base class.

Types of inheritance in c#

1. Single inheritance in C#

It is the type of inheritance in which there is one base class and one derived class. 

2. Hierarchical inheritance in C#

This is the type of inheritance in which there are multiple classes derived from one base class. This type of inheritance is used when there is a requirement of one class feature that is needed in multiple classes.

3.Multilevel inheritance in C#

When one class is derived from another, this type of inheritance is called multilevel inheritance.

4.Multiple inheritances using Interfaces

C# does not support multiple inheritances of classes. To overcome this problem, we can use interfaces. We will see more about interfaces in my next article in detail.
