Inheritance
- See Inheritance
Inheritance is typically done by grouping objects into classes, and defining classes as extensions of existing classes, and thus grouping classes into trees or lattices reflecting behavioral commonality. Although the use of classes is the most popular technique for inheritance, another well-known technique is prototype-based programming.

Famous quotes containing the word inheritance:
“I call it our collective inheritance of isolation. We inherit isolation in the bones of our lives. It is passed on to us as sure as the shape of our noses and the length of our legs. When we are young, we are taught to keep to ourselves for reasons we may not yet understand. As we grow up we become the “men who never cry” and the “women who never complain.” We become another generation of people expected not to bother others with our problems.”
—Paula C. Lowe (20th century)
“Say not you know another entirely till you have divided an inheritance with him.”
—Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741–1801)
“Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” But he said to him, “Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?””
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 12:13,14.
