Abstract
Some of the more common descriptions of inheritance, and particularly multiple inheritance are analysed; these are frequently unclear and ev en contradictory in much of the published literature. Using abstract d ata types to provide examples, it is shown how a consistent basis for inheritance and multiple inheritance may be built up, which helps to c larify the true meaning of inheritance.
