Understanding inheritance is the key to understanding object-oriented programming. In Java, an existing class is inherited through the keyword extends, and the inherited class is called the parent class (superclass, base class), and the new class is called a subclass (derived class). Multiple inheritance is not allowed in Java.
(1) Inheritance
Class animal{
void Eat () {
System.out.println ("Animal eat");
}
void Sleep () {
System.out.println (' Animal sleep ');
}
void Breathe () {
System.out.println ("Animal Breathe");
}
Class Fish extends animal{
} public
class Testnew {public
static void Main (string[] args) {
//TODO A uto-generated method Stub
Animal a = new Animal ();
FISH fn = new fish ();
An.breathe ();
Fn.breathe ();
}
Implemented in Eclipse:
Animal breathe!
Animal breathe!
Each class in the. java file will generate a corresponding. class file under Folder Bin. The execution results show that the derived class inherits all the methods of the parent class.
(2) Covering
Class animal{
void Eat () {
System.out.println ("Animal eat");
}
void Sleep () {
System.out.println (' Animal sleep ');
}
void Breathe () {
System.out.println ("Animal Breathe");
}
Class Fish extends animal{
void Breathe () {
System.out.println ("Fish Breathe");
}
public class Testnew {public
static void Main (string[] args) {
//TODO auto-generated method stub
Animal a n = new Animal ();
FISH fn = new fish ();
An.breathe ();
Fn.breathe ();
}
Execution results:
Animal Breathe
Fish Breathe
Defines a method in a subclass that has the same name as the parent class, returns a type, and has the same parameter type, called a method overlay. The override of the method occurs between the subclass and the parent class. In addition, super can provide access to the parent class.
