1. What is inheritance?
2. What is a super class?

5. What instance variables (fields) does a child class inherit?

1. Inheritance is a feature of object oriented programming in which certain classes can inherit data and behavior from a “parent” class. They also allow for instant polymorphism.
2. The super class is the class from which another class inherits.
3. The sub class is the class that inherits from a super class.
4. In Java, a subclass inherits all of the public and protected members of its parent (those that specifically make use of those specialized words in their definition). In Python, a subclass inherits all of the members from its parent class.
