When to use Inheritance in C?

Answer 1

Assume the question was for C#, not C.

":" is syntax to extend a type. If the type extended from is another class, they form a class hierarchy and the "inheritance" is established:

For example:

class Base {}
class Derived : Base {}

Derived extends Base, and thus inherits from Base.

Answer 2

The C Programming language doesn't actually support inheritance, it only supports composition. However, the following code demonstrates how we can use composition to approximate single inheritance:

struct Base {

int data;

};

struct Derived {

struct Base base;

// ...

};

int main (void) {

struct Derived d;

d.base.data = 42;

return 0;

}

Answer 3

C does not support the concept of Inheritance.Inheritance is achieved only in object oriented languages like c++ ,java or c#

Answer 4

C is not an object oriented language, so the answer is NO.

C# supports single inheritance, so the answer is also NO.
