## Inheritance
This is a stub. <a href='https://github.com/freecodecamp/guides/tree/master/src/pages/mathematics/area-of-a-parallelogram/index.md' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Help our community expand it</a>.

```python
class ParentClass():
pass
class ChildClass(ParentClass):
pass
````
In the very basic example, the `ChildClass` class will inherit from `ParentClass` and use code defined under that class.
