/*
---Inheritance in Java is a mechanism in which one object acquires all the properties
---The idea behind inheritance in Java is that you can create new classes that are
built upon existing classes.
---Inheritance represents the IS-A relationship which is also known as a parent-child
relationship.
---The relationship between the two classes is Programmer IS-A Employee. It means that
Programmer is a type of Employee.
--- The extends keyword indicates that you are making a new class that derives from
an existing class.
The meaning of "extends" is to increase the functionality.
---In the terminology of Java, a class which is inherited is called a parent or superclass,
and the new class is called child or subclass.
