As an aside, isn't it silly to describe the same thing as both a base (below) class and super (above). I think I'd prefer parent/child.
I've also seen inconsistency in various inheritance diagrams; sometimes the arrow points to the child, sometimes to the parent.
- int_19h 9y agoParent/child usually refers to ownership relationships between objects, though, not classes. As in, an item is a child of a collection. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with "super", given that it stands for "superclass", which has a well-defined meaning. For that matter, so does "base class".
