how inheritance works in java code example

Example 1: inheritance in java

// super class
class Animal
{
   void eat()
   {
      System.out.println("Animal is eating.");
   }
}
// subclass
class Lion extends Animal
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      Lion obj = new Lion();
      obj.eat();
   }
}

Example 2: Inheritance in java

// single inheritance example
import java.util.*;
class Animal
{
   void eat()
   {
      System.out.println("Animal is eating.");
   }
}
class Lion extends Animal
{
   void roar()
   {
      System.out.println("lion is roaring.");
   }
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      Lion obj = new Lion();
      obj.eat();
      obj.roar();
   }
}

Example 3: inheritance in java

Inheritance in Java is a mechanism in which one object acquires 
all the properties and behaviors of a parent object.
It is an important part of OOPs (Object Oriented programming system).
