Python Inheritance
PROGRAMMING WITH PYTHON
Python inheritance

It is a mechanism that allows you to create a hierarchy of classes that share

a set of properties and methods by deriving a class from another class.
Inheritance is the capability of one class to derive or inherit the properties
from another class.

Inheritance allows us to define a class that inherits all the methods and
properties from another class.

Parent class is the class being inherited from, also called base class.

Child class is the class that inherits from another class, also called derived
class.

Python inheritance
Benefits of inheritance are:

Inheritance allows you to inherit the properties of a class, i.e., base class to
another, i.e., derived class. The benefits of Inheritance in python are as
follows:
1. It represents real-world relationships well.
2. It provides the reusability ouh11f a code. We don’t have to write the
same code again and again. Also, it allows us to add more features to a
class without modifying it.
3. It is transitive in nature, which means that if class B inherits from another
class A, then all the subclasses of B would automatically inherit from
class A.
4. Inheritance offers a simple, understandable model structure.
5. Less development and maintenance expenses result from an
inheritance.

Python Inheritance Syntax

The syntax of simple inheritance in Python is as follows:

Class BaseClass:
{Body}
Class DerivedClass(BaseClass):
{Body}

To create a class that inherits the functionality from another class,

send the parent class as a parameter when creating the child class:

# A Python program to demonstrate
inheritance
class Person(): Mayank 103
def __init__(self, name,id): Emp class called
self.name = name
self.id = id
def Display(self):
print(self.name, self.id)
class Emp(Person):
def Print(self):
print("Emp class called")
Emp_details = Emp("Mayank", 103)
Emp_details.Display()
Emp_details.Print()

Single Inheritance:
Single level inheritance enables a derived class to inherit
characteristics from a single parent class.
Single Inheritance allows a derivate class to inherit properties of
one parent class, and this allows code reuse and the introduction
of additional features in existing code.

This function is defined inside the parent class.
This function is defined inside the child class.
class Parent1:
def fun1(self):

print("This function is defined inside the parent class.")

class Child1(Parent1):
def fun2(self):
print("This function is defined inside the child class.")
object = Child1()
object.fun1()
object.fun2()

class Child1: std = Child1("Jackie")
def __init__(self, name): print(std.getName1(), std.isStudent1())

self.name = name
std = Student1("johnny")
print(std.getName1(), std.isStudent1())
def getName1(self):
return self.name

def isStudent1(self): Jackie False

johnny True
return False
