Multiple inheritance: Art, Implementations & The diamond problem

Multiple inheritance is a feature of some object-oriented computer programming languages in which an object or class can inherit features from more than one parent object or parent class. It is distinct from single inheritance, where an object or class may only inherit from one particular object or class.

How Multiple inheritance connects Entity context

The extracted context around Multiple inheritance shows recurring relationship patterns in the source. For example, Multiple inheritance → All Java, Animal, BandC's, BandCare, BandCcan, By, C3, ChosenParentInterface, Common Lisp CLOS, Curl, Diamond, Dog, Each, Eiffel, EiffelBase, Either, Go, However, Human, HumanandMusician Another extracted example is Multiple inheritance → Bertrand Meyer, Bjarne, Bo Nørregaard, Common Ancestor Dilemma Problem, ConferenceObject-Oriented Software Construction, Delegation-Based Object Systems, Dynamic Aspects Workshop, European Unix Users Group, Forman, Generalization, Ira, ISBN, PDF, Pierre Verbaeten, Prentice Hall, Proceedings, Putting Metaclasses, Scott Danforth, Second Edition, Solution. Use these groups to spot repeated connection types before inspecting the individual relationships.
