Types of Inheritance:

There are different types of inheritance viz., Single inheritance, Multiple inheritance, Multilevel inheritance, hybrid inheritance and hierarchical inheritance.

1. Single Inheritance : When a derived class inherits only from one base class, it is known as single inheritance.

2. Multiple Inheritance : When a derived class inherits from multiple base classes it is known as multiple inheritance.

3. Hierarchical inheritance : When more than one derived classes are created from a single base class, it is known as Hierarchical inheritance.

4. Multilevel Inheritance : The transitive nature of inheritance is itself reflected by this form of inheritance. When a class is derived from a class which is a derived class then it is referred to as multilevel inheritance.

5. Hybrid inheritance : When there is a combination of more than one type of inheritance, it is known as hybrid inheritance.

6. Hence, it may be a combination of Multilevel and Multiple inheritance or Hierarchical and Multilevel inheritance or Hierarchical, Multilevel and Multiple inheritance.
