Without using the inheritance, Is it possible

to inherit the property of another class?

How?? Using Association

Relationship Between Classes

Inheritance Association
• Is-A • Is-A
• extends • Reference variable, new
• Blood relation • No Blood relation
• Tightly coupled • Not Tightly coupled
Association
• Association establishes a relationship between any two objects.
• Objects have an independent lifecycle i.e.) no ownership between the objects.

Composition
 It represents part – of relationship

 Both classes are highly dependent on each other

 Example:

Every human has a heart (part - of relationship)

Human and heart(Dependent on each other)

Books and Authors(Dependent on each other)
