No, inheritance is not the way to achieve code reuse!

I am not sure how so many people go through so many years of school, which is supposed to make us better at thinking, and they fail to differentiate the “why” and the “how”. During interviews, when I ask their opinion about the purpose of inheritance in OOP, invariably I get this precooked answer (not so nicely expressed): inheritance is the way to achieve code reuse. No it is not!
