Example 3: python super

# The super() function lets you run a parent class function inside the child class.
class Parent(object):
    def __init__(self, age):
        self.age = age
    
    def func(self):
        print(f"Hi, my age is {self.age}!")

class Child(Parent):
    def __init__(self, age):
        # Here is where I can use the super to run the parent class __init__ function to set the childs' name
        super().__init__(age)

dad = Parent(36)
kid = Child(8)

dad.func()
kid.func() # The kid inherits it from the dad, so I could run it like that too

Example 4: python super
