Abstract
A trait is a group of methods that can be inserted into classes. They enable greater code reuse without the added complexity that comes from allowing multiple-inheritance. Traits are defined with the trait keyword followed by a name and a code block. The naming convention is the same as for classes, with each word initially capitalized. The code block may only contain static and instance methods.
