Perhaps what you're questioning is inheritance,

isn't necessarily a required feature of objects. Inheritance is based
on the idea that while two types aren't identical, they may have
similarities. As a trivial example, integers and floats are different
data types, but they both support arithmetic.
I think I am, but not math (where are the decimal libraries? Logic fuctions
for decimal machines) but more in the Graphic area. All bitmapped

standard to define a modern computer for I/O. Ben.
