[Python] Inheritance

Python is an object-oriented programming language, so it also has inheritance, overloading, overriding, etc. Below is one of the simple examples of how inheritance is implemented in Python.

By looking at below example, it is easy to learn how a class inherits from other classes and how a class is declared, defined and used in Python.

In this example, we have one parent class and 2 children classes which inherit their parent classe (particularly, it is person in our case) Super class: person has first and last name and a method called "getName" child class 1: Employee does not only have has first and last name, but also has staff number child class 2: Boss: has first, last name and title person | | +-------------+ | | Employee Boss """ import sys #----- Parent class: person -------- class person: def __init__(self,first,last): self.firstName = first self.lastName = last def getName(self): return self.firstName + " " + self.lastName #----- child class: Employee inherited from person -------- class Employee(person): def __init__(self,first,last,staffNum): person.__init__(self,first,last) self.staffNum = staffNum def getEmployee(self): return self.getName() + ": " + self.staffNum #----- child class: Employee inherited from person -------- class Boss(person): def __init__(self,first,last,title): person.__init__(self,first,last) self.title = title def getBoss(self): return self.getName() + ": Employee ID: " + self.title def main(): #----- instantiate class -------- person_1 = person("Math", "Hoang") Employee_1 = Employee("Math", "Hoang", "12344") Employee_2 = Employee("Blog", "spot", "43211") Boss_ = Boss("Mathhoang", "Blogspot.com", "CEO") #------ print out information ------ print(person_1.getName()) print(Employee_1.getEmployee()) print(Employee_2.getEmployee()) print(Boss_.getBoss()) if __name__ == '__main__': sys.exit(main())
