Inheritance Monofactorial

Monofactorial (or one-factorial) inheritance is a type of inheritance in which each member of a class inherits only one parent class. This means that each instance of a class has only one database, which contains all of its properties and methods.

Monofactorial inheritance has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, this simplifies the code and makes it more understandable, since each method or property has only one parent. It also avoids naming conflicts because all class members have unique names.

However, monofactorial inheritance also has some limitations. For example, if a class inherits from several parent classes, then it can only have those properties and methods that were defined in each of the parent classes. This can cause the class to contain redundant properties and methods, making it difficult to use.

In addition, monofactorial inheritance may be ineffective if parent classes have many properties and methods in common. In this case, each instance of the class will contain a lot of duplicate data, which can lead to an increase in the size of the database and slow down the program.

In general, monofactorial inheritance is a good choice for simple classes that do not have many properties and methods, and that do not require data sharing between parent classes. However, if the classes have a complex structure and share data, then it may be more efficient to use multifactorial or composition inheritance.
