Overview: Eiffel is an advanced object-oriented programming language created in 1985 by Bertrand Meyer. It was named after Gustave Eiffel, the design engineer who designed the Eiffel Tower. It is an advanced object-oriented programming language emphasizing the design and development of quality and reusable software. Unlike C++, this language is not based on or an extension to any other Language. Eiffel is not a superset or extension of any other language. It restricts dangerous practices from previous generation languages although it does interface to other languages such as C and C++. Eiffel encourages the concept of "Design by Contract" to improve software correctness. Eiffel is an object-oriented language based on a number of concepts:

• Multiple inheritance including redefinition, undefinition, renaming, selection
• Assertions for writing, debugging and documenting software automatically
• Seamless development: fits the entire lifecycle, from analysis and high-level design to implementation and maintenance
• Classes, serving as the basis for both the module structure and the type system
• Inheritance for classification, typing, subtyping and software reuse
• Exception handling to recover from unplanned states
• Static typing and dynamic binding
