Describe Inheritance in programming.

The ability to create a new class by adding to or overriding parts of an existing class. The objects of the new class acquire the properties of objects of another class. This concept supports the concept of hierarchical classification (i.e. each derived class shares common characteristics with the class from which it is derived). The inheritance concept provides the idea of re-usability (i.e. additional features can be added to an existing class without modifying it).
