## Inheritance
Because Python is an opject oriented programing language, classes created in Python are able to inherit attributes and methods from other classes. For example:
```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.
Python is also able to support multiple inheritance, so child classes can inherit from multiple classes.
