Subclass: A subclass is a class that inherits properties and behaviors from another class. It extends the functionality of the superclass.

Static Variables: Static variables are variables that belong to the class itself rather than instances of the class. They are shared among all instances of the class and can be accessed without creating an object of that class.

Private Access: Private access restricts visibility to only within the same class. It cannot be accessed or modified by other classes or objects outside its scope.
