    What is inheritance in c++ ?

    Today I have just learned about Inheritance in C++ programming. I thought I should share what I learnt today !! I hope it will be helpful for anyone...
    Inheritance in Object Oriented Programming can be described as a process of creating new classes from existing classes. New class or classes inherit some part from an existing class or classes. There we have total 6 kind of inheritance in C++ and those are...

    • Single inheritance.
    • Multi-level inheritance...
    • Multiple inheritance.
    • Multipath inheritance.
    • Hierarchical inheritance
    • Hybrid inheritance.
    Example program of Single inheritance...
    #include <iostream>

    #include <conio.h>

    #include <string>

    using namespace std;

    class student

    {

    public:

        int roll;

        char name[30];

        void getroll()

        {

            cout << "Please enter your roll : "<< endl;

            cin >> roll;

        }

        void showroll()

        {

            cout << "Your Roll is : " << roll << endl;

        }

    };

    class student_2 : public student

    {

    public:

        void getname()

        {

            cout << "Please enter your name" << endl;

            cin >> name;

        }

        void showname()

        {

            cout << "Your name is : "<< name << endl;

        }

    };

    int main ()

    {

        student_2 a;

        a.getroll();

        a.getname();

        a.showroll();

        a.showname();

        getch();

        return 0;

    }

    Thanks for your clear explanation of inheritance.
    Also I want to add up a bit: Inheritance in Object Oriented Programming can be described as a process of creating new classes from existing classes. ... An existing class that is "parent" of a new class is called a base class. New class that inherits properties of the base class is called a derived class. Inheritance is a technique of code reuse.
