Also, an independent contractor is generally one who has the opportunity to make a profit, or the risk of taking an out-of-pocket loss, while an employee generally does not have that opportunity nor does he take that risk.
Inheritance is the process wherein characteristics are inherited from ancestors. Similarly, in Java, a subclass inherits the characteristics (properties and methods) of its superclass (ancestor). For example, a vehicle is a superclass and a car is a subclass. The car (subclass) inherits all of the vehicleâs properties.
Identical twins are a good example of the interaction between inheritance and environment, as such twins are genetically the same. Any differences you may see between them â for example in personality, tastes and particular aptitudes â are due to differences in their experience or environment. Page: 1  1. 2  2. 3  3. 4  4.
