C++ program for inheritance.

Objective: Write a C++ program to illustrate the concept of inheritance.

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// Base class

class Animal {

public:

    void eat() {

        cout << "This animal eats food." << endl;

    }

};

// Derived class inheriting from Animal

class Dog : public Animal {

public:

    void bark() {

        cout << "The dog barks." << endl;

    }

};

int main() {

    // Creating an object of the derived class

    Dog myDog;

    // Calling the base class method using the derived class object

    myDog.eat();

    // Calling the derived class method

    myDog.bark();

    return 0;

}

Output:
