How does inheritance work?

Can you explain how inheritance works in object-oriented programming?

Sure! Inheritance allows a class to inherit properties and methods from another class, promoting code reuse.

What are the benefits of using inheritance?

The main benefits include code reusability, easier maintenance, and the ability to create a hierarchical class structure.

Can you give me an example of inheritance in Python?

Absolutely! In Python, you can create a base class and then derive subclasses from it. For example:

class Animal:
    def speak(self):
        return "Animal speaks"

class Dog(Animal):
    def speak(self):
        return "Woof!"

Here, Dog inherits from Animal.

What is the difference between single and multiple inheritance?

Single inheritance involves a class inheriting from one superclass, while multiple inheritance allows a class to inherit from multiple superclasses.
