9.1 Understanding Inheritance

• The relationship between parent and child classes is based on inheritance
• What are common inheritance patterns used in OOP?

  Code reuse, polymorphism
• What is inheritance terminology related to in OOP?

  Classes, subclasses, superclasses
• Inheritance promotes the modular design of software systems.


  True
• In inheritance, the child class inherits properties and methods from the parent class.
• The 'is-a' relationship means a subclass is a more specialized version of its superclass.

  True
• Subclasses can add specialized properties and behaviors not found in the superclass.


  True
• Match the aspect with the correct class type:

  General class ↔️ Superclass

  Specialized class ↔️ Subclass
• In multiple inheritance, a subclass inherits from multiple superclasses
• Inheritance allows classes to be organized into a hierarchical structure
• A child class inherits properties and methods from its parent class.
• The "is-a" relationship means that a subclass is a specialized version of its superclass
• Match the aspect with the correct class type:

  Defines common properties ↔️ Superclass

  Inherits from superclass ↔️ Subclass
• Multiple inheritance requires careful management to avoid conflicts.

  True
• Method overriding is a type of polymorphism where a subclass provides its own implementation of a method.


  True
• Method overriding allows subclasses to behave differently while maintaining the same method name.


  True
• Match the inheritance term with its definition:

  Superclass ↔️ Base class providing common attributes

  Subclass ↔️ Class that inherits from the superclass

  Inherits ↔️ Acquires properties from superclass

  'Is-a' relationship ↔️ Subclass is a type of superclass
• What is inheritance in object-oriented programming?

  Subclass inherits from superclass
• The parent class in inheritance is also known as the superclass
• Match the terms with their definitions:

  Superclass ↔️ Parent class with common properties

  Subclass ↔️ Child class that inherits from superclass
• What does the 'is-a' relationship ensure in inheritance?

  Logical class hierarchies
• Polymorphism allows subclasses to extend or override parent class behavior.


  True
• What are the key advantages of inheritance in object-oriented programming?

  Code reuse and organization
• In inheritance, subclasses can extend or override the behavior of methods inherited from the superclass.
• Subclasses inherit common properties and methods from their superclasses while adding their specific attributes.


  True
• Match the class types with their characteristics:

  Parent Class (Superclass) ↔️ General properties and methods

  Child Class (Subclass) ↔️ Inherits from parent class and specializes
• Method overriding occurs when a subclass provides its own implementation of a method defined in the superclass.


  True
• What are the roles of inheritance in parent-child relationships?

  Specialization, code reuse
• The subclass inherits from the superclass to extend its functionality.
• A subclass inherits properties and behaviors from its superclass
• What is single inheritance?

  Inheriting from one superclass
• What is the primary benefit of inheritance in OOP?

  Code reuse
• What is another term for a parent class?

  Superclass
• What does the "is-a" relationship describe in OOP?

  Inheritance relationship
• What is the primary purpose of a subclass?

  Extend superclass functionality
• Multiple inheritance allows a subclass to combine features from multiple superclasses
• Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass
• What are the two main types of polymorphism?

  Method Overriding and Overloading
• Polymorphism promotes code flexibility and enhances maintainability
• What does the term 'hierarchical organization' refer to in inheritance?

  Parent-child hierarchy
