Single Inheritance

The document outlines an experiment to demonstrate single inheritance in Java using Employee and Officer classes. It includes a problem statement, algorithm, and a sample program that creates an Officer object inheriting properties from the Employee class, displaying employee details and salary. The document also provides a sample output and a set of viva questions related to inheritance in Java.

Experiment: Single Inheritance in Java

Aim
To write a Java program to demonstrate single inheritance using Employee and Officer classes.

📚 Theory
Inheritance is a mechanism in Java by which one class acquires the properties and methods of another
class.
 The class which is inherited is called the Parent (Super) Class.
 The class that inherits is called the Child (Sub) Class.
 The keyword used is extends.
👉 In Single Inheritance, one child class inherits from one parent class.

📝 Problem Statement
Write a Java program to demonstrate single inheritance.
Create a class named Employee with the following data members:
 Name
 Age
 Phone number
 Address
 Salary
Include a method printSalary() to display the salary.
Create a derived class Officer that inherits from Employee and has an additional data member:
 Specialization
In the main() method:
 Create an object of Officer
 Assign values to all data members
 Display all details including salary
Algorithm: Single Inheritance (Employee → Officer)
1. Start the program
2. Create a parent class Employee
o Declare variables: name, age, phoneNumber, address, salary

o Define a method printSalary() to display salary


3. Create a child class Officer
o Inherit Employee using extends

o Declare additional variable specialization

4. Define a method display() in Officer


o Print all employee details:

 name, age, phone number, address


o Print specialization

o Call printSalary() method

5. Create the main class


o Define main() method

6. Create an object of Officer


o Example: Officer officer = new Officer();

7. Assign values to all variables


o Set name, age, phone number, address, salary, specialization

8. Call the display method


o [Link]();

9. End the program

💻 Program
class Employee {
String name;
int age;
String phoneNumber;
String address;
double salary;

void printSalary() {
[Link]("Salary: " + salary);
}
}

class Officer extends Employee {


String specialization;

void display() {
[Link]("Name: " + name);
[Link]("Age: " + age);
[Link]("Phone Number: " + phoneNumber);
[Link]("Address: " + address);
[Link]("Specialization: " + specialization);
printSalary();
}
}

public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {

Officer officer = new Officer();

[Link] = "Anu";
[Link] = 35;
[Link] = "9876543210";
[Link] = "Kochi";
[Link] = 50000;
[Link] = "IT";

[Link]();
}
}

🧾 Sample Output
Name: Anu
Age: 35
Phone Number: 9876543210
Address: Kochi
Specialization: IT
Salary: 50000.0

🔍 Result
Thus, the Java program to demonstrate single inheritance was successfully executed.
