title: Class hierarchy terms, ancestor- vs. parent-class
body: <p>Im trying to understand the various definitions, other students do not quite agree with me.</p>
  
  <p>My definitions, please correct them if wrong:</p>
  
  <p>Base class is the top most class in the hierarchy.</p>
  
  <p>Super and Ancestor class, any class higher up in the hierarchy (including the base class)</p>
  
  <p>Parent class, the next class up in the hierarchy.</p>
