The definition of that inheritance is an extend a base class is a typical but not quite accurate. You can say Japanese live in Japan but Japanese do live outside Japan like me too. I do admit inheritance is predomintantely used in oop and in the majority of contexts of cs, inheritance means that in CS but wikipedia is not a summary of general case but compact generalization of matters. You cannot ignore the minority. Sorry about the definiition in inheritance which is not good enough. I am looking for a better definition that is not limited only to that in oop sense. -- [[User:TakuyaMurata|Taku]] 21:55 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)

:The article [[Inheritance (computer science)]] can discuss inheritance outside of the OOP context then; inheritance in an OOP context is of sufficient depth and complexity to deserve its own article, since that is where it is predominantly (or always, depending on your perspective) used; thus: [[Inheritance (object-oriented programming)]]. I like the idea of having both. If treated carefully, there need not be any duplication, since inheritance in OOP is likely to be quite different from inheritance in the non-OOP context. -- [[User:Wapcaplet|Wapcaplet]] 22:03 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
