What is inheritance?

Inheritance is an object-oriented technique in which we can create a new derived class from an existing base class. We can say that base class is the parent class and derived class is the child class.

The child class inherits all the features from the parent class and child class can also have some additional features of its own.

Program on inheritance in C++ (OOP )

using namespace std;

class person
{
     public:
         int age;
         string profession;

        person(): profession("Unemployed"), age(14) { }
        
        void show()
        {
             cout << "My Profession is: " << profession <<endl;

             w();
             t();

        void w() { cout << "I can walk." <<endl ;}
        void t() { cout << "I can talk." <<endl ;}
