Thurs
, 15 April:
Consider combining two items of largely orthogonal
functionality to form a third object (e.g. combining a robot and
a camera to create a seeing-robot). Should we use multiple
inheritance (seeing-robot
isa
camera and
isa
robot) or
containment (seeing-robot
isa
robot which
hasa
camera named
Mycamera
), or some other mechanism? Consider changing the
design sometime later, to add a second camera. Discuss your
views on the support languages should provide for describing
an entity that is the union of two (or more) others, and the
adequacy of the support found in C++ and Java for doing so.
