So it should follow that

class Cyborg : IHuman, IRobot
{
}

?

[Pete OHanlon]

Shouldn't it be:

public class Android : Robot, IHumanoid
{
}

Careful, you might incite a case of android rage.

Your logic is strange to me; you have three new concepts, and none of the ones I had, so I don't see how that "should follow". :confused:

Hmm.... I think something like this is more the thing:

public class Cyborg
{
public Cyborg(IHumanElements human_elements,IRobotElements robot_elements)
{
_Human = human_elements;
_Robot = robot_elements;
};

private IHumanElements \_Human;
private IRobotElements \_Robot;

}

In the cyborg's case, I think it's more of a 'has-a' relationship than an 'is-a' relationship.

To clarify: C3PO is an andriod (and a robot) R2D2 is just a robot. George Lucas is a human (who doesn't know his a*** from his elbow).

There's lots of interfaces one can attribute to Android, to name a few: IAnimatable, IAsyncResult, IDictionary<Klingon>, IDropTarget, IExpando, IHttpHandler, IIntellisenseBuilder, ILease, IProcessHost, IResourceProvider, ... More advanced models might even add IGoogle, IReflect :)

Cyborg is closer to a human than an Android?

There are only 10 types of people in this world — those who understand binary, and those who don't.

I was hoping nobody gets anal about it, butt you know that will happen. Chances are very good that someone will be a total sphincter and ruin our fun.

Correct, but Lucas insists on classifying them as Droids.

Ahh, most folks around here have more intestinal fortitude than that. I think we can colon most of them to get the joke.

Cyborg is a human with 'robotic' parts Android is a robot that looks like a human

You're right. It doesn't (but IRobot is the interface of Robot, so it's only two new concepts) I plead intoxication :beer: ;)
