Understand Inheritance and Polymorphism

Introduction

The Understand Inheritance and Polymorphism module provides you with the instructions and devices to develop your hands on skills in the following topics.

• Creating base class and derived classes using C# console application in Visual Community 2013
• Using base class and derived classes to demonstrate inheritance in C#
• Creating base class and derived class using C# console application in Visual Studio 2013
• Using base class and derived class to demonstrate polymorphism in C#

Exercise 1 - Understand Inheritance

In this exercise, you will learn to create a base class in C#. You will then create derived classes from the base class. You will develop a program using base class and derived classes to demonstrate the concept of inheritance.

Inheritance, in object oriented programming, is a concept where the objects of derived classes inherit or acquire the properties and methods of base class.

Exercise 2 - Understand Polymorphism

In this exercise, you will learn to create a base class in C#. You will then create derived classes from the base class. You will develop a program using base class and derived classes to demonstrate the concept of polymorphism.

Polymorphism, in object oriented programming, is a concept where entities such as variables, functions, or objects can acquire multiple forms.
