Sometimes we want to inherit from two or more classes. This works
in Pike (and in C++, but not in Java). You just write several
inherits.
Lets say we have a class friend, that represents a
friend:
class friend
{
void cuddle()
{
write("Cuddle, cuddle, cuddle!\n");
}
}
A hamster, as we all know, is both an animal and a friend, and it
can also dance:
class hamster
{
inherit animal;
inherit friend;
void dance()
{
write(name + " dances.\n");
}
}
So, try it out:
hamster h = hamster("Blue Lightning", 0.12);
h->cuddle(); // Cuddle as a friend
h->eat("grain"); // Eat as an animal
h->dance(); // Dance as a hamster
