what is a compound class

[Sonia]

I have been looking for a definition of a compound class but cannot find it
anywhere ?
What exactly is a compound class ?
Thanks

I searched the standard and couldn't find anything occurrences of
"compound class". There is a section on "compound types" which includes
classes. Maybe all classes are compound classes.

I have found this:
compound classes (classes formed by inheritance and aggregation
relationships).

So then a compound class would be any that is not an empty class.

David,
In a sense yes. To my understanding it would be a class that is composed of
other classes or derives from or is derived from.
