Explain why inheritance is useful.

What will be an ideal response?


Inheritance is useful because it allows for code-reuse. This means that if we have multiple software entities
that have common features, the code for the common features can be written once in a superclass. The classes that include
these features can then be written via inheritance, and this common code does not have to be rewritten.
