Object Oriented Programming: Composition Over Inheritence

Hi,

I'm going through some of OOP stuff I have picked up from here an other stuff, I am looking over Composition, which means and object within an object.

Which then means the relationship between the both object is a HAS-A relationship.

I'm currently working on a scenario that looks at taking an outside object (Vehicle Catalogue) and which then gets instantiated into the Customer Class.

There I can then get information from the Vehicle Catalogue and gather information based on the Customer.

I think the link between the two objects is Composition Aggregation, which means one to many relationship.

I understand when to use Compostion and when to use Inheritence, but wondering how big of a deal it is to learn?

Kind regards,

James
