Inheritance of Methods

A subclass inherits methods in the sense that any method applicable to all instances of a class is also applicable to all instances of any subclass of that class.

The inheritance of methods acts the same way regardless of which of the method-defining operators created the methods.

The inheritance of methods is described in detail in section Method Selection and Combination.
