Recipe 1.3: Inheriting from Another Class

Last Updated: Sep 8, 2003 Status: Very Likely

Problem:  

You want your new class to inherit the behaviors of an already existing class.

Solution:  

Use the is keyword after the class name:

class DerivedClass is MyClass;

Discussion:

Internally, properties and parent classes are implemented in roughly the same manner: parent classes can in fact be thought of as properties, and vice versa. The same keyword is used for both concepts.
