我认为这个例子清楚地解释了继承和组合之间的区别。

在本例中，使用继承和组合解决了这个问题。作者注意到;在继承中，父类的更改可能会导致继承它的派生类出现问题。

在这里，您还可以看到使用UML进行继承或组合时在表示上的区别。

继承带来IS-A关系。复合引出HAS-A关系。 策略模式解释了组合应该用于定义特定行为的算法族的情况。典型的例子是实现飞行行为的鸭子类。

public interface Flyable{
 public void fly();
}

public class Duck {
 Flyable fly;

 public Duck(){
  fly = new BackwardFlying();
 }
}

因此，我们可以有多个实现飞行的类 例如:

public class BackwardFlying implements Flyable{
  public void fly(){
    Systemout.println("Flies backward ");
  }
}
public class FastFlying implements Flyable{
  public void fly(){
    Systemout.println("Flies 100 miles/sec");
  }
}

如果是继承的话，我们就会有两个不同的鸟类，它们会反复实现fly函数。所以继承和组合是完全不同的。

另一个例子，考虑一个汽车类，这将是一个很好的组合使用，一个汽车将“有”一个发动机，一个变速器，轮胎，座位，等等。它不会扩展任何这些类。

不，两者都不一样。组合遵循“HAS-A”关系，继承遵循“IS-A”关系。组合的最佳例子是战略模式。

Though both Inheritance and Composition provides code reusablility, main difference between Composition and Inheritance in Java is that Composition allows reuse of code without extending it but for Inheritance you must extend the class for any reuse of code or functionality. Another difference which comes from this fact is that by using Composition you can reuse code for even final class which is not extensible but Inheritance cannot reuse code in such cases. Also by using Composition you can reuse code from many classes as they are declared as just a member variable, but with Inheritance you can reuse code form just one class because in Java you can only extend one class, because multiple Inheritance is not supported in Java. You can do this in C++ though because there one class can extend more than one class. BTW, You should always prefer Composition over Inheritance in Java, its not just me but even Joshua Bloch has suggested in his book
