Abstract
An initializer which is a dynamically resolved method for initializing an object in a multiple inheritance object oriented system is introduced. The initializer is introduced in an ancestor class and can be inherited and overridden by subclasses. An overridden initializer can be invoked on an instance of a subclass to initialize an object in the system.
