Relationship

Posted by Kelly Kow on March 03, 2001 at 10:17 PM

I have a question about relationship between classes and objects.
If car "is-a" vehicles, and car "has-a" engine. Does that mean, car is "a-kind-of" vehicle, and engine is "part-of" car?
How do we differentiate these relationship using code?
