Object-oriented Programming in C# Specialization, Extension, and Inheritance * Specialization of Classes Specialization of Classes The extension of class specialization Example: Bank Accounts Example: Bank Accounts in C# Example: Geometric Shapes Specialization of classes The Principle of Substitution * Extension of Classes Extension of Classes An example of simple extension The intension of class extensions * Inheritance in General Inheritance Interfaces to clients and subclasses Visibility and Inheritance Class hierarchies and Inheritance Multiple inheritance Problems with multiple inheritance * Inheritance in C# Class Inheritance in C# The top of the class hierarchy Methods in the class Object in C# Inheritance and Constructors Constructors and initialization order Constructors and initialization order: Example Visibility modifiers in C# Inheritance of methods, properties, and indexers Inheritance of methods: Example.

Class Invariants

Specialization of classes in pure form do not occur very often. Specialization in combination with extension is much more typical.
