What is inheritance Describe its various types with the help of program?

Answer 1

Inheritance is a mechanism in OOP where a new class inherits properties and behaviors from an existing class. The various types of inheritance include single inheritance (one class inherits from only one class), multiple inheritance (one class inherits from multiple classes), and multilevel inheritance (one class inherits from another which in turn inherits from another).

Example of single inheritance:

class Parent:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

class Child(Parent):
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        super().__init__(name)
        self.age = age

child = Child("Alice", 25)
print(child.name)
print(child.age)
