  - The inheritance feature allows us to define a new class by extending or modifying an existing class.
  
  - The original class is called the base class (or super class) and the new class obtained through inheritance is called as the derived class (or sub class).
  
  - Inheritance feature of the object oriented paradigm helps in code reuse.
  
  - A base class is a generalization of its derived classes.
  
  - This means that the base class contains only those properties that are common to all the derived classes.
  
  - Again each derived class is a specialization of its base class because it modifies or extends the basic properties of the base class in certain ways.
  
  - Thus, the inheritance relationship can be viewed as a generalization-specialization relationship .
