INTRODUCTION
what is
isinheritance
a f u n d a m e n t a l?c o n c e p t
in object-
oriented programming (OOP) that allows
you to create new classes (child classes
or subclasses) that inherit properties
and behaviors from existing classes
(parent classes or superclasses)

Classification of Inheritance:
• Single Inheritance
• Multiple Inheritance
• Multilevel Inheritance
• Hierarchical Inheritance
CONTINUE• Hybrid Inheritance
DEFINITION
ABOUT MULTILEVEL INHERITANCE
• A child class inherits from a parent
class, which in turn inherits from
another parent class.

• Creates a chain of inheritance.

• Example: A SportsCar class inherits


from a Car class, which inherits from
a Ve h i c l e c l a s s .

EXAMPLE OF MULTILEVEL INHERITANCE
How Multilevel
Inheritance Works
Multilevel inheritance in Java allows a class to inherit properties from a parent
class, which itself inherits from another parent. This creates an inheritance
chain.

Class Hierarchy:
• Level 1 (Base Class):Top class with no parent, extendable by subclasses.

• Level 2 (Intermediate Class):Inherits from Level 1 and can be further


inherited.

• Level 3 (Derived Class): Inherits from Level 2, thus indirectly inheriting from
Level 1.
Flow of Inheritance:

• When a class inherits from another class, it gains access to all public and
protected methods and attributes of that class.

• At each level, the class can add new methods and variables or override
existing ones, providing additional functionality.

• For example, if Class A is the base class, Class B inherits from Class A, and
Class C inherits from Class B, then:
⚬ Class C can access all the public and protected members of Class A and
Class B.
ADVANTAGES

• Modular Structure

• Improved Maintainability

• Extensibility

• Logical Hierarchies
