Inheritance allows subclasses to be created from superclasses. The subclass then "absorbs" the behaviors of the superclass It allows code to be reused without retyping it in the subclass, which saves a lot of space and time. An inheritance hierarchy is formed when a subclass becomes a superclass of another subclass, forming a pyramid. The subclass and superclass has an is-a relationship, in which the subclass is-a superclass. The is-a relationship is also transitive
