Java Inheritance Methods Explained

🚀 Day 30 of Java Learning TAP Academy – Types of Methods in Inheritance Today, I explored a key concept in OOP: Types of Methods in Inheritance, along with the role of the super keyword and Access Modifiers. When a child class extends a parent class, its methods can be categorized into three types: 🔹 Inherited Methods Methods taken from the parent class and used as-is without any changes. 🔹 Overridden Methods Methods that are inherited but redefined in the child class to provide a new implementation. 🔹 Specialized Methods Methods that are unique to the child class, adding new functionality beyond the parent. 🔸 Role of super Keyword The super keyword acts as a reference to the parent class. It is used to: Access parent class methods and variables Call overridden methods from the parent class Invoke the parent class constructor using super() 💡 Together, these concepts help in effectively reusing, modifying, and extending functionality, which is the essence of clean and efficient OOP design. #Java #OOP #Inheritance #LearningJourney #Programming #SoftwareDevelopment
