Advantages of Inheritance

Explore the advantages of inheritance in Java. Learn how it promotes code reusability by allowing derived classes to extend base classes without rewriting code. Understand how inheritance helps avoid code duplication, supports extensibility to enhance features, and enforces data hiding through encapsulation for secure programming.

Re-usability

Inheritance makes the code reusable. Consider that you are up for designing a banking system using classes. Your model might have these:
