+**Intent:**  Twin pattern is a design pattern which provides a standard solution to simulate multiple
+inheritance in java
+
+
+
+![alt text](./etc/twin.png "Twin")
+
+**Applicability:** Use the Twin idiom when
+
+* to simulate multiple inheritance in a language that does not support this feature.
+* to avoid certain problems of multiple inheritance such as name clashes.

+**Credits:**
