Basic Concept of Inheritance

• Definition:

Inheritance is a property in which data members and member functions of some class are used by some other class.

• Inheritance allows the reusability of the code in C++.

Advantages of inheritance

1. Reusability : The inheritance allows its developer to reuse the code written in the base class.

2. Extensibility : The base class can be extended to the derived class and the required business logic can be written in the derived class.

3. Data hiding : The information that need to be hidden from the derived class can be made private. Hence inheritance also helps its developer not to get the information altered by any derived class.
