Welcome back to our exploration of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in TypeScript. This unit's topic is Inheritance, a feature that can significantly enhance code reusability and efficiency.
Programming, especially OOP, often mirrors concepts found in the real world. Inheritance is one such trait - Child
classes inherit characteristics from their Parent
classes, akin to genetics in biology.
Here is a concrete TypeScript demonstration of a Child
class inheriting from a Parent
class:
In this instance, the Child
class inherits from the Parent
class, thereby sharing the greet()
method. This is inheritance in action!
