Lesson 7: Inheritance in Java & Python

🎯 Objective:
Understand how to use inheritance to let one class derive the properties and behaviors of
another.

🧠 Concept Breakdown
Inheritance allows a class (child or subclass) to inherit fields and methods from another
class (parent or superclass).

Example: A Car is a Vehicle — Car can reuse properties like speed, start(), etc., from Vehicle.

🧾 Syntax Side-by-Side
Feature Java Python

Define Superclass class Animal {} class Animal:

Define Subclass class Dog extends Animal {} class Dog(Animal):

Access Superclass super() super().__init__()


Constructor

Override Method @Override + method Redefine method in


subclass

🔧 Java Example
class Animal {
void sound() {
System.out.println("Animal makes sound");
}
}

class Dog extends Animal {


@Override
void sound() {
System.out.println("Dog barks");
}
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Dog d = new Dog();
d.sound(); // Output: Dog barks
}
}

🐍 Python Example
class Animal:
def sound(self):
print("Animal makes sound")

class Dog(Animal):
def sound(self):
print("Dog barks")

d = Dog()
d.sound() # Output: Dog barks

📋 Cheat Sheet – Inheritance


Concept Java Python

Superclass class A {} class A:

Subclass class B extends A {} class B(A):

Call Parent Constructor super() super().__init__()


Method Override @Override + redefine Redefine in child class
