  1. Inheritance Examples

  2. Real-world Examples: Animals Source code: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphism_in_object-oriented_programming Animal Dog Cat

  3. Example #2: Timepieces

  4. Multiple inheritance • A derived class can have more than one base class • Java does not support it – uses “interface” instead.

  5. Example #3: Shapes Basic Shape Circle Polygon Ellipse Square Rectangle Hexagon

  6. Example #4: Wireless Telephony Mobile initiated message Registration Call Processing SMS Origination Page Response

  7. Value of inheritance? • Helps us to break software into manageable pieces • Existing classes can be morphed to design new classes – code reuse • Enables us to group different types of objects together and do some action on all of them.

  8. Inheritance Examples in Java and C++

  9. Back to Example #1: Animals Animal Dog Cat Want to group them together & make them talk?

  10. Concepts • Static binding vs. dynamic binding • Polymorphism using virtual methods • Abstract base class • Ability of base class pointers to point to derived class objects

  11. Add Human? Animal Human Dog Cat Want to group them together & make them talk?
