(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
See also Biological inheritance and Inheritance (computer science) Inheritance is the practice of passing on property, titles, debts, and obligations upon the death of an individual. It has long played an extremly important role in human societies.Both anthropology and sociology have made detailed studies in this area. Many cultures will have either patrilineal, also known as gavelkind, where only male children can inherit. Some cultures also employ matrilineal succession only passing property along the female line. Even more radical than patrelinial succession is the practice of primogeniture whereby all property goes to the eldest child, or often the eldest son. Conversly there are also systems where eveythng is left to the youngest child. Most modern states employ partible inheritance, whereby every child inherits equally. Many also have inheritance taxes, whereby a portion of any estate goes to the the government.
Employing differing forms of succession can effect many areas of society. Gender roles are profoundly affected by traditional inheritance laws. Primogeniture has the effect of keeping large estates united and thus perpetuating a single elite. With partible inheritance large estates are slowly divided among many decendents and great wealth is eventualyl diluted.

In computer science, inheritance creates an is a relationship between data structures.Thus the logic proposition "Socrates is a man" states that the Socrates also has the attributes of other men. Currently Java and C++, among others, allow this type of proposition to be stated directly in the respective languages, by using the Java key word extends, or the C++ notation :. This is unlike composition, where the relationship is has a instead of is a, for example, "a car has a motor".
Inheritance can also be used in interfaces to give the appearance of being whatever - for example if we have an such an interface below, these could all have a "makeNoise();" method.
Thus passing any to an Recoder.captureSoundOf(NoiseMaker()); would capture the sound emitted. Thus from the perspective of a recorder, each is a NoiseMaker.

However, there has been no small amount of inconsistency in the usage of the "is-a" link: R. J. Brachman wrote a paper titled "What IS-A is and isn't", wherein 29 different semantics were found in projects whose knowledge representation schemes involved an "is-a" link. Other links include the "has-part" or "has a" link.
In the UML, is a is a relationship symbolized with an arrow; a white arrowhead points to the superclass. The tail of the arrow rests on the subclass.
Sowa's conceptual graph places the is a in a bubble (circle). The classes [Socrates] and [Man] are placed in rectangles.
Some computer scientists, such as the principal designer of CLU, Barbara Liskov, urge that the use of inheritance be restricted to those designs which truly reflect the problem being solved, and that re-use and subtype polymorphism are not actually the strong points of a design resting solely on inheritance.
The most widely encountered practical application of inheritance is in word processors, where people often don't realize except intuitively that the components of the document are inheriting layout and style properties from their parent elements, not even when they are using style sheets for formatting. A similar impression can be seen with drawing programs.

In genetic algorithms, inheritance is the ability of modelled objects to mate, mutate and propagate their problem solving genes to the next generation, in order to produce an evolved solution to a particular problem.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Inheritance (genetic algorithm)."
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
See inheritance (computer science)'' for other computing uses of inheritance.In object-oriented programming of computer science, an inheritance is a way to form new classeses or objectss using pre-defined objects or classes where new ones simply take over old ones's implemetions and characterstics. It is intended to help reuse of existing code with little or no modification.
Complex inheritances may cause the Yo-yo problem.
Applications of inheritance
Specialization
One common reason to use inheritance is to create specializations of existing classes or objects. This is often called subtyping when applied to classes. In specialization, the new class or object has data or behavior aspects which are not part of the inherited class. For example, a "Bank Account" class might have data for an "account number", "owner", and "balance". An "Interest Bearing Account" class might inherit "Bank Account" and then add data for "interest rate" and "interest accrued" along with behavior for calculating interest earned.Another form of specialization occurs when an inherited class specifies that it has a particular behavior but does not actually implement the behavior. Each class which inherits from that abstract class must provide an implementation of that behavior. This providing of actual behavior by a subclass is sometimes known as implementation or reification.
Many object-oriented programming languages permit a class or object to replace the implementation of an aspect—typically a behavior—that it has inherited. This process is usually called overriding. Overriding introduces a complication: which version of the behavior does code from the inherited class see—the one that is part of its own class, or the overriding behavior? The answer varies between programming languages, and some languages provide the ability to indicate that a particular behavior is not to be overridden.
Extension
Another reason to use inheritance is to provide additional data or behavior features. This practice is sometimes called extension. In contrast to the case of specialization, with extension the new data or behaviors could have been provided in the inherited class because they are generally applicable to all instances of the class.Extension is often used when incorporating the new features into the inherited class is either not possible or not appropriate. It can also be used at the object level, such as in the Decorator pattern.
Code re-use
One of the earliest motivations for using inheritance was to allow a new class to re-use code which already existed in another class. This practice is usually called implementation inheritance.In most quarters, class inheritance for the sole purpose of code re-use has fallen out of favor. The primary concern is that implementation inheritance does not provide any assurance of polymorphic substitutability—an instance of the re-using class cannot necessarily be substituted for an instance of the inherited class. An alternative technique, delegation, requires more programming effort but avoids the substitutability issue.
The notion that implementation inheritance should be avoided is not universal. One prominent object-oriented programming expert who believes that implementation inheritance has its place is Bertrand Meyer. In his book Object Oriented Software Construction, 2nd ed., Meyer lists twelve different uses of inheritance that he considers to be legitimate, most of which involve some amount of implementation inheritance.
An example of inheritance
A Java program might have a class Animal that contained such data elements as whether the animal was presently alive, where it is currently located, etc.; as well as methods instructing the animal to eat, move, mate, etc. If we wanted to create a class Mammal, most of those data elements and functions would be the same as for most animals, but a few would change. We therefore define Mammal as a subclass of Animal (we then say that Animal is Mammal's superclass or parent class):
class Mammal extends Animal { Hair m_h; Breasts m_b; Mammal reproduce() { Mammal offspring;Note here that we don't need to specify that a mammal has all the usual animal things: a location, ability to eat, move, etc. We do add some additional features such as hair and breasts that are unique to mammals, and we redefine the reproduce method to add functionality. Within the reproduce method, note the call super.reproduce(). This is a call to the superclass method which we are redefining. This roughly means "do whatever a member of my superclass would do", which is then followed by code specific to our new subclass.super.reproduce(); if (self.is_female()) { offspring = super.give_birth(); offspring.breastfeed(m_b); } care_for_young(offspring); return offspring; } }
