Python Inheritance

Inheritance is an important aspect of the object-oriented paradigm. Inheritance provides code reusability to the program because we can use an existing class to create a new class instead of creating it from scratch.

In inheritance, the child class acquires the properties and can access all the data members and functions defined in the parent class. A child class can also provide its specific implementation to the functions of the parent class. In this section of the tutorial, we will discuss inheritance in detail.

Python Multi-Level inheritance

Multi-Level inheritance is possible in python like other object-oriented languages. Multi-level inheritance is archived when a derived class inherits another derived class. There is no limit on the number of levels up to which, the multi-level inheritance is archived in python.

Python Multiple inheritance

Python provides us the flexibility to inherit multiple base classes in the child class.

Method Overriding

We can provide some specific implementation of the parent class method in our child class. When the parent class method is defined in the child class with some specific implementation, then the concept is called method overriding. We may need to perform method overriding in the scenario where the different definition of a parent class method is needed in the child class.
