Using inheritance to create a class

You've previously written a Document class for text analysis, but your NLP project will now have a focus on Social Media data. Your general Document class might be useful later so it's best not to destroy it while your focus shifts to tweets.

Instead of copy-pasting the already written functionality, you will use the principles of 'DRY' and inheritance to quickly create your new SocialMedia class.
