Many programs written with inheritance could be written with composition instead, and vice versa. Rewrite class BasePlus-CommissionEmployee (Fig. 9.11) of the CommissionEmployee–BasePlusCommissionEmployee hierarchy so that it contains a reference to a CommissionEmployee object, rather than inheriting from class CommissionEmployee. Retest BasePlusCommissionEmployee to demonstrate that it still provides the same functionality.
