Abstract
In the previous chapters we have started to build some software relying on existing elements. We are going to do more of this now by seeing how we can use previously written classes. This will also be an opportunity to gain new insights into this notion of class, fundamental to everything we do in programming, and to discover the concepts of interface and contract.
