What is the purpose of OurToken contract in ERC20 lesson

[HarigovindM-G]

So in the ERC20 lesson , Patrick writes 2 solidity contracts , they are ManualToken.sol and OurToken.sol . ManualToken.sol is the manual implementation of a ERC20 token, but its very tiring to code up a TokenContract from scratch everytime we need a token right? , also think of it there is no much tweaks you can make to the basic transfer, trasferFrom ...., so its waste of time to code up ERC20 contract maunually , so the solution was to use a template kind of stuff , this is where the ERC20 contract from OpenZeppelin Steps in , when you inherit from this contract , you contract instantly gets the functions of an ERC20 token , after that if you want to ad d some other stuff , you could absolutely do it . So the purpose of OurToken was to teach how to use Oppenzeppelin library to make a ERC20 token and then to deploy and test it . I hope i got your question correctly and also i my answer was helpful .
Thank You

So, the OurToken.sol is not part of ManualToken.sol

[HarigovindM-G]

Nope , He just showed the hardway and then the easy way , Ourtoken.sol should work even without ManualToken.sol
