Unit 9 Summary
Unit 9: Inheritance
- Introduces inheritance as a way to create a hierarchy of classes.
- Discusses extending a class using
extends
to reuse code and functionality. - Covers the
super
keyword for accessing parent class constructors or methods. - Explores overriding methods in subclasses to provide specialized behavior.
- Introduces polymorphism and how subclasses can be treated as their parent class.
- Discusses abstract classes and interfaces to define common behaviors.
Connections to PBL:
- In back-end systems, inheritance allows developers to extend base models (e.g., creating a subclass
Admin
from aUser
class). - Front-end frameworks leverage inheritance to extend UI components and maintain consistency across applications.
- API design might include creating different types of requests or responses that inherit common functionality (e.g., different user roles or product types).
