We will make this protocol inherit from the previously created PartyProtocol that defined a MemberType associated type. Thus, the PartyWithDeeJayProtocol protocol will inherit this associated type. We have to specify another associated type that will be specified during the protocol implementation—that is, when we declare the class that conforms to the new protocol.

The following lines show the declaration of the PartyWithDeeJayProtocol protocol that inherits from the PartyProtocol protocol. We must declare the protocol before the public class PartyWithDeeJay<T: AnimalProtocol, K: DeeJayProtocol where T: Equatable>: Party<T> line that starts the declaration of the Party<T, K> class that we want to edit to make it conform to this new protocol:
