Can super class inherit child class properties?

No, a superclass cannot directly inherit properties from its child class. Inheritance in object-oriented programming follows a top-down approach, where a subclass inherits properties and methods from its superclass.

• Inheritance Flow: The superclass, also known as the parent class, defines general characteristics and behaviors that are inherited by the subclass, also known as the child class.
• Child Class Extension: The child class can extend the inherited properties and methods or add its own unique ones, but it cannot directly influence the superclass.
• Example: Imagine a superclass called Animal with properties like name and age. A subclass called Dog inherits these properties from Animal. While Dog can add specific properties like breed, it cannot change or add properties to the Animal superclass.

This concept ensures that the superclass remains a consistent representation of the general characteristics, and the child class can specialize and add its own unique features without affecting the parent class's definition.
