- 71. Should we avoid inheritance altogether?
- 72. To use? Use Inheritance when your derived class truly is the type you're extending. And it will always be!

- 79. Or not to use? How about polymorphism? Consider using Protocols* to achieve a polymorphic behaviour. * Also known as Interfaces in other languages
- 80. I need to reuse some code from superclass. No The derived class is almost the extending type No The derived class is the extending type but might change in the future No I need a polymorphic behaviour No The derived class truly is the extending type. And it won't change. I swear! Yes To use or Not to use?
