Inheritance

Inheritance is one of the key features of Object-oriented programming in C++. It allows us to create a new class (derived class) from an existing class (base class). 

The derived class inherits the features from the base class and can have additional features of its own.

Advantage of C++ Inheritance

Code reusability: Now we can reuse the members of our parent class. So, there is no need to define the member again. So less code is required in the class.

Abstraction : Inheritance enables abstraction, which is the ability to show only the necessary information to the outside world while hiding the implementation details. This makes the code more modular and easier to understand.

Easier Maintenance : Inheritance makes it easier to maintain and update code. When you make changes to the base class, the changes are automatically reflected in the derived classes, reducing the maintenance burden.
