Hello there!

Unfortunately, the code you provided is invalid, and it seems not to
contain required indentation, newlines, and has some other things that
should break (eg. line 12)

Please reply (using Reply All!) in plaintext, with the correct code.

Also, do you mind phrasing your question more precisely?  Do you need
help with inheritance?  What is the problem you’re having?
