So far, you have learned how you can define classes for two entertainment
types: movies and symphonies. Now, suppose that you want to add information
that is common to all entertainment types, such as an instance variable,
minutes
, that records duration.
One way to proceed is to start with the classes that you have already
defined for movies and symphonies, adding a minutes
instance
variable to both classes. If you define movies and symphonies in this way,
adding the minutes
instance variable to the Movie
and
Symphony
class definitions creates exact duplicates.
