description

This file links a person from the New Person file to a class in the User Class file. Since user class membership includes members of all subclasses, users should be made members of the most discrete class in a hierarchy of classes. For example, if Jones is a dentist, Jones should be entered into the Dentist class. Since Dentist is a subclass of the Provider class, Jones is then automatically a Provider. Persons wearing several different hats can have more than one entry in the file. For example, Smith might be a dietician also working toward a nursing degree. Smith could be entered twice, once as a Dietician and once as a Student Nurse.
