Inheritance allows us to define a class that inherits all the methods and

properties from another class.

Parent class is the class being inherited from, also called base class.

Child class is the class that inherits from another class, also called derived
class.

Polymorphism means "many forms". It allows you to use the same method or
function name on different types of objects, and each object can behave
differently.

🔄 Real-Life Analogy:
Example: A draw() function used in a graphics program.

[Link]() draws a circle

[Link]() draws a square

[Link]() draws a triangle

You call draw() on any shape, and the correct version is run based on the
object. That’s polymorphism.

🧊 Abstraction
✅ Definition:
Abstraction means hiding the complex implementation and showing only the
essential features of the object.

🧠 Think of it as:
“Only show what’s necessary”

🎯 Why Use It?


Reduces complexity

Improves code readability

Focuses on what an object does, not how
