Inheritance is one in which a new class is created that inherits the properties of the already exist class. It supports the concept of code reusability and reduces the length of the code in object-oriented programming.
Example of Inheritance:
addition of a+b is:11
Here, class B is the derived class which inherit the property(add method) of the base class A.
Polymorphism:
Polymorphism is that in which we can perform a task in multiple forms or ways. It is applied to the functions or methods. Polymorphism allows the object to decide which form of the function to implement at compile-time as well as run-time.
Types of Polymorphism are:
Example of Polymorphism:
addition of a+b is:11 addition of a+b+c is:6 Class B's method is running
| S.NO | Inheritance | Polymorphism |

| 1. | Inheritance is one in which a new class is created (derived class) that inherits the features from the already existing class(Base class). | Whereas polymorphism is that which can be defined in multiple forms. |
| 2. | It is basically applied to classes. | Whereas it is basically applied to functions or methods. |
| 3. | Inheritance supports the concept of reusability and reduces code length in object-oriented programming. | Polymorphism allows the object to decide which form of the function to implement at compile-time (overloading) as well as run-time (overriding). |
| 4. | Inheritance can be single, hybrid, multiple, hierarchical and multilevel inheritance. | Whereas it can be compiled-time polymorphism (overload) as well as run-time polymorphism (overriding). |
| 5. | It is used in pattern designing. | While it is also used in pattern designing. |
| 6. | Example : The class bike can be inherit from the class of two-wheel vehicles, which is turn could be a subclass of vehicles. | Example : The class bike can have method name set_color(), which changes the bike's color based on the name of color you have entered. |
