Fundamentals Of Object-Oriented Programming: Java and IntelliJ - Inheritance

The video tutorial covers the concept of inheritance in Java, starting with the definition of a superclass and a derived class. It explains how to create a Student class with properties like name and test scores, and methods such as a constructor and a method to calculate average scores. The tutorial then demonstrates creating an Undergrad class that inherits from the Student class, showing how to instantiate and use objects of both classes. It also covers adding setter and getter methods for managing private properties like email, emphasizing the use of accessor and mutator functions.
