public class Car {public int wheels;public string color;
}public class SportsCar : Car {
public int noOfSeats;}

Inheritance Each derived class inherits all
variables from the base class. Sports cars and luxury cars both inherits four wheels, gears etc.
Also, each derived class inherits methods from the base class. Luxury cars and sports cars share some behaviors: braking and changing speed, for example.

Inheritance
A However, derived classes are not limited to the state and behaviors provided to them by their base class.
Derived classes can add more variables and methods. Sports cars have two seats and, some sports cars have an extra set of gears.
