I don't know if I missed something but where did the keyword "Friend:" come from in the course media?

When he recapped on inheritence the code on the screen showed something similar to "class Friend: Person {}" I know that this is from C style langs but I dont remember it being covered here. Shouldn't inheritance be done like "class Doctor: Person {}"

Edit: I made this quetion from my course video and it doesnt seem to link back to it so here it is: Beginner iOS Development > Differentiating Between Objects > Recap and Conclusions (Video time 3:50)

I think I get it now. I think this has nothing to do with the C style keyword of "Friend" and that the word "Friend" is a new class that inherits the properties from the "Person" class. This is confusing and want to double check.
