Introduction To Inheritance in Python v2

The document discusses inheritance in object-oriented programming with Python. Inheritance allows a class to inherit attributes and methods from a parent class. This provides code reusability and a logical structure between classes. The document covers single, multiple, multi-level and method overriding inheritance.

What is Inheritance?
eritance is a mechanism where a new class inherits attributes and methods from an existing class. E

ython
ss Parent:
def func1(self):
print('This is a parent function')

ss Child(Parent):
pass

= Child()
.func1() # This is a parent function
Single Inheritance
In single inheritance, a child class inherits from a single parent class.
Example:

```python
class Animal:
def speak(self):
print('Animal speaks')

class Dog(Animal):
def bark(self):
print('Dog barks')

my_dog = Dog()
my_dog.speak() # Animal speaks
my_dog.bark() # Dog barks
```
Multiple Inheritance
In multiple inheritance, a child class can inherit from multiple parent classes.
Example:

```python
class A:
def method_A(self):
print('Method A')

class B:
def method_B(self):
print('Method B')

class C(A, B):


pass

obj = C()
obj.method_A() # Method A
obj.method_B() # Method B
```
Multi-Level Inheritance
In multi-level inheritance, a class is derived from another class which is also derived from another c
Example:

```python
class Grandparent:
def method_gp(self):
print('Grandparent method')

class Parent(Grandparent):
def method_p(self):
print('Parent method')

class Child(Parent):
def method_c(self):
print('Child method')

obj = Child()
obj.method_gp() # Grandparent method
obj.method_p() # Parent method
obj.method_c() # Child method
The `super()` Function
`super()` function allows us to call methods of the superclass in the derived class.
Example:

```python
class Parent:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name

class Child(Parent):
def __init__(self, name, age):
super().__init__(name)
self.age = age

obj = Child('John', 20)


print(obj.name) # John
print(obj.age) # 20
```
Method Overriding
rriding allows a child class to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already defined i
