inherit class 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

// Multilevel inheritance in java
class Animal
{
   void eating()
   {
      System.out.println("animal eating");
   }
}
class Lion extends Animal
{
   void roar()
   {
      System.out.println("lion roaring");
   }
}
public class Cub extends Lion
{
   void born()
   {
      System.out.println("cub drinking milk");
   }
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      Animal obj1 = new Animal();
      obj1.eating();
      Lion obj2 = new Lion();
      obj2.eating();
      obj2.roar();
      Cub obj3 = new Cub();
      obj3.eating();
      obj3.roar();
      obj3.born();
   }
}

Example 3: how to make one java class inherit from another

public class Bicycle {
        
    // the Bicycle class has three fields
    public int cadence;
    public int gear;
    public int speed;
        
    // the Bicycle class has one constructor
    public Bicycle(int startCadence, int startSpeed, int startGear) {
        gear = startGear;
        cadence = startCadence;
        speed = startSpeed;
    }
        
    // the Bicycle class has four methods
    public void setCadence(int newValue) {
        cadence = newValue;
    }
        
    public void setGear(int newValue) {
        gear = newValue;
    }
        
    public void applyBrake(int decrement) {
        speed -= decrement;
    }
        
    public void speedUp(int increment) {
        speed += increment;
    }
        
}

Example 4: 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).
