Inheritance

In the previous chapters you explored some of the basic ideas of object-oriented programming in Objective-C. As you have seen, OOP is the main software development concept that motivated the creation of the language. A chief feature of OOP is the ability to create new classes that inherit methods, variables, and properties from other existing classes. You see, then, that to master the language you need to attain a good working knowledge of the concept of class-based inheritance. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
