Using Inheritance in Java

The video tutorial explains the concept of inheritance in Java programming. It begins with an introduction to inheritance, followed by a practical example using a vehicle analogy to illustrate how inheritance allows for code reuse. The tutorial differentiates between inheritance and interfaces, emphasizing that inheritance involves using existing code from a parent class, while interfaces require implementing defined methods. A practical demonstration is provided, showing how to create a parent class and a child class that inherits properties and methods using the 'extends' keyword. The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of accessing inherited properties and methods in the child class.
