Hi satishchavan170,
This Wikipedia article will get you started on the concepts of inheritance:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inheritance_%28computer_science%29
but I'd advise you to get your hands on a good reference book that introduces OO concepts.
Do you have any specific questions about inheritance with respect to C++?
