Steve McConnell Quote

Implement is a through public inheritance. When a programmer decides to create a new class by inheriting from an existing class, that programmer is saying that the new class is a more specialized version of the older class. The base class sets expectations about how the derived class will operate and imposes constraints on how the derived class can operate (Meyers 1998).
