Swift Classes: Inheritance, Override, and the final Keyword

Short summary

A beginner-friendly explanation of Swift class inheritance using an anime RPG analogy with Ninja and Hokage classes. Covers subclassing, the override keyword for replacing parent methods, and how Swift's explicit override requirement prevents accidental method shadowing and typos.

• •Inheritance lets subclasses reuse and extend parent class properties and methods
• •The override keyword is required to replace a parent method and prevents accidental shadowing
• •Swift checks override spelling to catch typos that would silently create new methods
