Question

Give three solid situations for when to use inheritance in java. Explain all situations with examples.

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

1. IS-A situation:

Vehicle is a class, which has some properties, like: weight,colour,brand,speed,no_of_wheels 

now, car is a vehicle. In this case we have to use single inheritance .

import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
class Vehicle {
    String brand;
    String color;
    double weight;
    double speed;
 public void move()
 {
  System.out.println("is moving");
 }
}

class Car extends Vehicle {
  String licenseNumber;
    String owner;
    String bodyStyle;
 public void type() { System.out.println("car"); }
public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println(new Vehicle().brand);
        System.out.println(new Car().brand);
        System.out.println(" ");
        new Car().type();
        new Car().move();
    }
}
