Inheritance is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming that allows a class to inherit properties and behaviors from another class, known as the superclass or base class.
Let's consider an example in Python where we want to create classes for different types of sports, such as "Soccer," "Basketball," and "Tennis."
Create a base class called "Sport":
class Sport:
def __init__(self, name, players, rules):
self.name = name
self.players = players
self.rules = rules
def play(self):
print(f"Playing {self.name} with {self.players} players.")
Now, we can create subclasses for each specific type of sport, inheriting from the "Sport" base class and adding sport-specific attributes and methods.
class Soccer(Sport):
def __init__(self, players, rules, field_size):
super().__init__("Soccer", players, rules)
self.field_size = field_size
def play(self):
super().play()
print(f"Field size: {self.field_size}")
For Basketball:
class Basketball(Sport):
def __init__(self, players, rules, court_size):
super().__init__("Basketball", players, rules)
For Tennis:
class Tennis(Sport):
def __init__(self, players, rules, court_type):
super().__init__("Tennis", players, rules)
self.court_type = court_type
def play(self):
super().play()
print(f"Court type: {self.court_type}")
self.court_size = court_size
def play(self):
super().play()
print(f"Court size: {self.court_size}")
