inheritanceFrom The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 : [ gcide ]In object-oriented programming, the ability to derive new classes from existing classes. A derived class (or "subclass") inherits instance+variables+and+methods+of+the+"{base+class" rel="nofollow">the instance variables and methods of the "{base class" (or "superclass"), and may add new instance variables and methods. New methods may be defined with the same names as those in the base class, in which case they override the original one. For example, bytes might belong to the class of integers for which an add method might be defined. The byte class would inherit the add method from the integer class. See also Liskov substitution principle, multiple inheritance. (2000-10-10)

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) : [ bouvier ]/ˌɪnˈhɛɹətəns/
INHERITANCE, estates. A perpetuity in lands to a man and his heirs; or it is the right to succeed to the estate of a person who died intestate. Dig. 50, 16, 24. The term is applied to lands. 2. The property which is inherited is called an inheritance. 3. The term inheritance includes not only lands and tenements which have been acquired by descent, but also every fee simple or fee tail, which a person has acquired by purchase, may be said to be an inheritance, because the purchaser's heirs may inherit it. Litt. s. 9. 4. Estates of inheritance are divided into inheritance absolute, or fee simple; and inheritance limited, one species of which is called fee tail. They are also divided into corporeal, as houses and lands and incorporeal, commonly called incorporeal hereditaments. (q. v.) 1 Cruise, Dig. 68; Sw. 163; Poth. des Retraits, n. 2 8. 5. Among the civilians, by inheritance is understood the succession to all the rights of the deceased. It is of two kinds, 1 . That which arises by testament, when the testator gives his succession to a particular person; and, 2. That which arises by operation of law, which is called succession ab intestat. Hein. Lec. El.
