 ' Class Inheritance Example
 ' --------------------------
 ' Inheritance is the ability to derive new classes from existing classes. 
 ' A derived class (or "subclass") inherits the instance variables and 
 ' methods of the "base class" (or "superclass"), and may add new instance 
 ' variables and methods. New methods may be defined with the same names as 
 ' those in the base class, in which case they override the original one.
 '
 ' To compile: C:\dmd_MKoD_ex>dmd class_inhert.d

private import std.stdio;

// Base Class
class Location  // Implicitly inherits from object
{ 
    private char[] sName;

    // The constructor that initializes Location
    this( in char[] sName ) 
    {
        writefln( "Location.this( in char[] ) constructor called. sName=\"%s\"", sName );
        this.sName = sName;
    }

    public char[] Name() 
    { 
        return sName;

// Inherits from the Location Class
