C# Language Tutorial => Inheriting methods

Example

There are several ways methods can be inherited

public abstract class Car
{
    public void HonkHorn() {
        // Implementation of horn being honked
    }

    // virtual methods CAN be overridden in derived classes
    public virtual void ChangeGear() {
        // Implementation of gears being changed
    }

    // abstract methods MUST be overridden in derived classes
    public abstract void Accelerate();
}

public class Mustang : Car
{
    // Before any code is added to the Mustang class, it already contains 
    // implementations of HonkHorn and ChangeGear.

    // In order to compile, it must be given an implementation of Accelerate,
    // this is done using the override keyword
    public override void Accelerate() {
        // Implementation of Mustang accelerating
    }

    // If the Mustang changes gears differently to the implementation in Car
    // this can be overridden using the same override keyword as above
    public override void ChangeGear() {
        // Implementation of Mustang changing gears
    }
}
