Inheritence Example:
1.
public class ChildClass extends BaseClass {
// derived class methods extend and possibly override
Here is the complete example:
// A class to display the attributes of the vehicle
class Vehicle {
String color;
int speed;
int size;
void attributes() {
System.out.println("Color : " + color);
System.out.println("Speed : " + speed);
System.out.println("Size : " + size);
// A subclass which extends for vehicle
class Car extends Vehicle {
int CC;
int gears;
void attributescar() {
// The subclass refers to the members of the superclass
System.out.println("Color of Car : " + color);
System.out.println("Speed of Car : " + speed);
System.out.println("Size of Car : " + size);
System.out.println("CC of Car : " + CC);
System.out.println("No of gears of Car : " + gears);
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Car b1 = new Car();
b1.color = "Blue";
b1.speed = 200 ;
b1.size = 22;
b1.CC = 1000;
b1.gears = 5;
b1.attributescar();
The output is
Color of Car : Blue
Speed of Car : 200
Size of Car : 22
CC of Car : 1000
No of gears of Car : 5
--------------------------------------------------------------
// A class to display the attributes of the vehicle
class Vehicle {
String color;
private int speed;
private int size;
public int getSize() {
return size;
public int getSpeed() {

public void setSize(int i) {

public void setSpeed(int i) {

// A subclass which extends for vehicle
class Car extends Vehicle {

void attributescar() {
// Error due to access violation
// System.out.println("Speed of Car : " + speed);
// Error due to access violation

}
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Car b1 = new Car();
// the subclass can inherit 'color' member of the superclass
b1.color = 500;
b1.setSpeed(200) ;
b1.setSize(22);
b1.CC = 1000;
b1.gears = 5;
// The subclass refers to the members of the superclass
System.out.println("Color of Car : " + b1.color);
System.out.println("Speed of Car : " + b1.getSpeed());
System.out.println("Size of Car : " + b1.getSize());
System.out.println("CC of Car : " + b1.CC);
System.out.println("No of gears of Car : " + b1.gears);
The output is:
Color of Car : 500
Speed of Car : 200
Size of Car : 22
CC of Car : 1000
No of gears of Car : 5

public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {

The output is:
Inside default constructor of Shape
Inside default constructor of rectangle
Inside default constructor of coloredRectangle
Inside constructor of Shape
length : 5
breadth : 2
Inside constructor of rectangle
length : 5
breadth : 2

Inheritance and Method Overriding
class Shape {
private int length;
private int breadth;
// default Constructor
Shape() {
length = 0;
breadth = 0;
// Parameterized Constructor
Shape(int len, int bdth) {
length = len;
breadth = bdth;
void showattributes() {

System.out.println("breadth : " + breadth);
// A subclass which extends for shape
class Rectangle extends Shape {
private String type;
/* default Constructor
*/
Rectangle() {
type = null;
}
// Parameterized Constructor
Rectangle(String ty, int len, int bdth) {
super(len,bdth);
type = ty;
void showattributes() {
// showattributes() of class Shape is called
super.showattributes();
System.out.println("type : " + type);
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle("Blue",5,7);
// showattributes() in rectangle is called
rect.showattributes();
The output is :
length : 5
breadth : 7
type : Blue
