What is Inheritance?

Inheritance is a fundamental concept in OOP that enables a new class (child or subclass) to acquire the attributes and methods of an existing class (parent or superclass). This promotes code reuse and establishes a natural hierarchy between classes.

  • Parent Class: The class being inherited from.
  • Child Class: The class that inherits from the parent class.

Let's explore how inheritance works in Python!
