class

--feedback--

This is a basic building block in object-oriented programming that defines a blueprint for creating objects.


inherits

--feedback--

This verb means to receive or take over something from another source. It ends with -s.


properties

--feedback--

This word in the plural form means characteristics or qualities that describe something, like the color or size of an apple.


methods

--feedback--

This word in the plural form means actions or behaviors that something can perform, like a bird can fly.

--explanation--

An example is the "Student" class inherits properties and methods from the "Person" class.

  • Student and Person are both classes. A class defines a blueprint for creating objects with specific data and behavior.

  • Student takes over features from Person, meaning it doesn't need to redefine shared traits — it reuses them.

  • Properties are the variables or data inside the class, like name or age, that describe the object.

  • Methods are the functions defined in the class, like enroll() or introduce(), that describe what the object can do.
