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 a User 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).
