The mechanism of deriving a new class from an old class is called inheritance (or derivation). The old class is known as the base class and a new one is called a derived class. The derived class inherits some or all properties from the base class. A class also inherits properties from more than one class or from more than one level. For example, if a class Dog is a sub-class of Mammal, and class Mammal is a subclass of Animal, then class Dog will inherit attributes from both mammal and animal classes.
