subclass
A subclass is a specific category or type within a larger, more general class. It inherits properties and methods from its parent class, which allows the subclass to possess the same behaviors and characteristics of the parent, with ability to modify or extend these characteristics. Subclasses are commonly used in programming and object-oriented languages, like Java or Python, to create a hierarchical structure for organizing code.
