Inheritance is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming, and it allows you to create new classes (derived or subclass) that inherit properties and behaviors from existing classes (base or superclass). In C++, inheritance is a key feature, and it enables you to establish a hierarchy of classes. Here's how inheritance works in C++:

Base Class (Superclass):

In this example, student is a base class that defines a common property (name and age) and a common behavior (calculating the getdata() and putdata()). The public access specifier allows derived classes to access these members.

Derived Class (Subclass):

The Employee class is a derived class that inherits from the Student class. To specify inheritance, you use the colon (:) followed by the base class name. The derived class has access to the Name and age members of the base class.

Using Inheritance:

In this example, a Employee object is created, and it can access both the getdata() and putdata() function (inherited from Student) and its own get() and put() function. The derived class has both the properties and behaviors of the base class, and it can extend or override them as needed.
