| Inheritance is the ability for a class to automatically obtain (or inherit) all of the methods/variables of another class, usually called a parent or super class. A child class can do everything the parent or superclass can do but it usually adds or removes functionality by changing the attributes and characteristics.
A Graphic User Interface (GUI) component is an object that displays a screen element. For the short discussion of GUIs and inheritance, we will be using: o JFrame � displayed in its own window o JPanel � for organizing other components o JLabel � used to display a string |
