python inheritance function code example

Example 1: python inheritance

class Person:  
    name = ""  

    def __init__(self, personName):  
        self.name = personName  
  
    def showName(self):  
        print(self.name)  
  
class Student(Person): 				# Student inherits from Person superclass
    studentClass = ""  

    def __init__(self, studentName, studentClass):  
        Person.__init__(self, studentName)		# superclass constructor
        self.studentClass = studentClass  		# Student class specific
  
    def getStudentClass(self):  
        return self.studentClass  
  
  
person1 = Person("Dave")
person1.showName()                  # Dave
student1 = Student("Mary", "Maths")
print(student1.getStudentClass())   # Maths
student1.showName()                 # Mary

Example 2: inheritance in python

# creating parent class
class Parent:
    BloodGroup = 'A'
    Gender = 'Male'
    Hobby = 'Chess'
    
# creating child class
class Child(Parent): # inheriting parent class
    BloodGroup = 'A+'
    Gender = 'Female
    
    def print_data():
        print(BloodGroup, Gender, Hobby)
    
# creating object for child class
child1 = Child()
# as child1 inherits it's parent's hobby printed data would be it's parent's
child1.print_data()
