Inheritance is used whenever an object of a class can be considered as also an object

of another class. Example: I have a class Animal, you want to design a class Dog, A Dog IS

an animal, then the class Dog should be designed using inheritance from class Animal.

When inheritance is used a class inherits all member variables and methods of the inherited class.

Still private members of the parent class cannot be accessed directly by the inherited$/$child class.

If an inherited class needs to access member variables of a parent class, then you can use protected.

protected can be accessed by inherited class but not the public.

Let's have an example:

create a class animal that has the following:

color, age, species, diet

toString, equals

method speak$()$ to display I don;t know how to speak yet!.

$*/$

public class Animal $\{$
