Chapter 4. Inheritance and Specialization
In this chapter, we will create a hierarchy of blueprints that generate objects. We will take advantage of inheritance and many related features to specialize behavior in each of the three covered programming languages. We will:
- Use classes to abstract behavior
- Understand the concept of simple inheritance and design a hierarchy of classes
- Learn the difference between overloading and overriding methods
- Understand the concept of overloading operators
- Understand polymorphism
- Take advantage of the prototype chain to use inheritance in JavaScript
