 ====== Classes ======
+A //class// is an important concept in TAD.  Those familiar with //object oriented languages// will understand it immediately. But an architect often may not know this
+A //class// is simply an abstract container. Why abstract? Because there is no //Physical container// It is only in our mind. Like a grouping.  A class is used to gather together (not physically, but in your mind) a set of objects that logically all share the same or similar properties.
+In the real world; the class of //humans// would be you, your spouse, children etc. Of course the term //human// is a name given to an abstract collection. For e.g. you will not see one special area in the world or a space where all humans would be  cornered together! Similarly, a class is just a name you give to the collection
+A class can have sub-classes too. For example; under the class called //humans// we have broadly two other sub-classes called //males// and //females// Now we know that both of them do belong to the class called //humans// but there are indeed some properties of //males// that are not seen in //females// and vice-versa
