no two same attributes in one class
class name {
attribute = value;
};
the attribute array
class name{

attributeArray[] = {value1,value2,value3};
};
Inheritance
powerful tool, less typing, easier to maintain
adding attributes
class parentClass;

parentAttribute = value;
};
class childClass : parentClass {
parentAttribute = newValue;
};
