We’ve gone over how inheriting from a class is different than adopting a protocol. But it’s possible for a protocol to inherit from another protocol. And as we’ll see in a moment, unlike with superclasses, a protocol can inherit from more than one other protocol.

protocol AloofAnimal: Animal { }

42 extension AloofAnimal {
 
 }

43 func speak() {
    print("My name is \(name). Please leave me alone. I must look at this wall.")
  }

74 Cat: AloofAnimal {

74 Cat: AloofAnimal { }

40 protocol Aloof {
  
}

41 var name: String { get }

44 extension Aloof {
  var greeting: String {
    
  }
}

46 return "My name is \(name). Please leave me alone."

50 protocol AloofAnimal: Aloof, Animal { }

54 print("\(greeting) I must look at this wall.")

class Cat {
  let name: String
  
  required init(name: String) {
    self.name = name
  }
}

extension Cat: AloofAnimal { }

func speak() {
  print(greeting + "Meow!")
}

extension Int {
  
}

func isEven(_ value: Int) -> Bool {
  value % 2 == 0
}
func isOdd(_ value: Int) -> Bool {
  (value + 1) % 2 == 0
}

var isEven(_ value: Int) -> Bool {
