Python Inheritance Basics and Benefits

🚀 Day 15 of Python Learning: Inheritance in Python Today I learned about Inheritance in Python — one of the most important concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). It helps reuse code and build relationships between classes. 🔹 What is Inheritance? Inheritance allows one class to use the properties and methods of another class. 🔸 Parent Class Example class Animal: def sound(self): print("Animal makes sound") 🔸 Child Class Example class Dog(Animal): pass dog1 = Dog() dog1.sound() 🔸 Overriding Method Example class Dog(Animal): def sound(self): print("Dog barks") dog1 = Dog() dog1.sound() 🔸 Benefits of Inheritance ✔ Code reusability ✔ Better structure ✔ Easy maintenance ✔ Supports hierarchy 💡 Key Learning: Child classes can inherit from parent classes and also customize behavior when needed. 🧪 Practice Task: ✔ Create a Vehicle parent class ✔ Create Car child class ✔ Add method start() ✔ Override one method in child class 🎯 Interview Question: What is the difference between inheritance and polymorphism in Python? Answer: Inheritance allows code reuse from another class, while polymorphism allows the same method name to behave differently in different classes. 📌 Day 15 completed — growing stronger in Python OOP! #Python #Learning #CodingJourney #Day15 #Programming #SDET #100DaysOfCode Masai #dailylearning #masaiverse
