Compared to what?

Anyway, I find it comes up fairly rarely, mostly with polymorphism. I use it
in my uvs (univaritate statistics) library for giving some classes more than
one interface. For instance I have an interface for distributions and an
interface for sample statistics. A histogram has the characteristics of a
sample statistic and a distribution, so I use multiple inheritance. Follow
the link in my sig if you want to see examples.

Well, the very idea of inheritance can be better understood from the
natural evolution. Take the example of a child's birth. The child's
physilogical characteristics in one way or the other are influenced by
those of the parents. Shouldn't we call these characteristics
inherited??

I feel, it holds good for any kind of objects' hierarchy
representation. We tend to find an object which has features common
to two or more different classes?.
