Contract composition

Solidity supports contract composition. Composition refers to combining multiple contracts to create complex data structures and contracts. We have already seen numerous examples of contract composition before. Refer to the code snippet for creating contracts using the new keyword shown in the Using the new keyword section. In this example, the Client contract is composed of the HelloWorld contract. Here, HelloWorld is an independent contract and Client is a dependent contract. It is dependent on the HelloWorld contract for its completeness. It is a good practice to break down problems into multicontract solutions and compose them together using contract composition.
