 # 15 Classes
 
 ## 15.1 General
 
 A class is a data structure that may contain data members (constants and fields), function members (methods, properties, events, indexers, operators, instance constructors, finalizers, and static constructors), and nested types. Class types support inheritance, a mechanism whereby a ***derived class*** can extend and specialize a ***base class***.
 
 Structs ([§16](structs.md#16-structs)) and interfaces ([§19](interfaces.md#19-interfaces)) have members similar to classes but with certain restrictions. This clause defines the declarations for classes and class members. The clauses for structs and interfaces define the restrictions for those types in terms of the corresponding declarations in class types.
 
 ## 15.2 Class declarations
 
 ### 15.2.1 General
 
 A *class_declaration* is a *type_declaration* ([§14.8](namespaces.md#148-type-declarations)) that declares a new class.
 
 ```ANTLR
 class_declaration
     : non_record_class_declaration

         type_parameter_list? class_base? type_parameter_constraints_clause*
         class_body
     ;
 ```
 
 There are two kinds of class: ***non-record class***, as declared by *non_record_class_declaration*, and ***record class***, as declared by  *record_class_declaration*. A non-record class is the kind of class that C# has supported since the language’s inception. Record classes were added much later and are discussed in [§15.16](classes.md#1516-record-classes). The differences between the two kinds are discussed in [§15.17](classes.md#1517-record-class-and-non-record-class-differences).
 
 A *non_record_class_declaration* consists of an optional set of *attributes* ([§23](attributes.md#23-attributes)), followed by an optional set of *class_modifier*s ([§15.2.2](classes.md#1522-class-modifiers)), followed by an optional `partial` modifier ([§15.2.7](classes.md#1527-partial-type-declarations)), followed by the keyword `class` and an *identifier* that names the class, followed by an optional *type_parameter_list* ([§15.2.3](classes.md#1523-type-parameters)), followed by an optional *class_base* specification ([§15.2.4](classes.md#1524-class-base-specification)), followed by an optional set of *type_parameter_constraints_clause*s ([§15.2.5](classes.md#1525-type-parameter-constraints)), followed by a *class_body* ([§15.2.6](classes.md#1526-class-body)).

 An expression is a sequence of operators and operands. This clause defines the syntax, order of evaluation of operands and operators, and meaning of expressions.
 
 An expression *E* is said to ***directly contain*** a subexpression *E₁* if it is not subject to a user-defined conversion [§10.5](conversions.md#105-user-defined-conversions) whose parameter is not of a non-nullable value type, and one of the following conditions holds:
 
 - *E* is *E₁*.
 - If *E* is a parenthesized expression `(E₂)`, and *E₂* directly contains *E₁*.
 - If *E* is a null-forgiving operator expression `E₂!`, and *E₂* directly contains *E₁*.
 - If *E* is a cast expression `(T)E₂`, and the cast does not subject *E₂* to a non-lifted user-defined conversion whose parameter is not of a non-nullable value type, and *E₂* directly contains *E₁*.
