Work Step by Step

We draw the classes Truck and Automobile as generalizations of the class Vehicle. See figure. The diagram shows a generalization (inheritance) relationship: Vehicle, Truck, Automobile The classes in the diagram are: Vehicle → This is the base class (also called the superclass or parent class). Truck and Automobile → These are derived classes (also called subclasses or child classes). The meaning of the generalization relationship is: The arrow from each subclass to the superclass represents inheritance: - Both Truck and Automobile inherit attributes and methods from Vehicle. - This means they share common properties and behaviors defined in Vehicle, but can also have unique characteristics of their own.
