Module 6: Class Inheritance

Module Description

This module covers inheritance in Python, focusing on building class hierarchies, method overriding, multiple inheritance, and advanced class design principles.

Assignment 1: Homework on "Why Inheritance Is Needed"

• Solution
• Description: Task "Edible or Inedible":
  • Implement an animal kingdom hierarchy using inheritance. Create parent classes Animal and Plant, and child classes Mammal, Predator, Flower, and Fruit. Include methods for animals to eat plants, where animals get fed if the plant is edible and die if it is not.

Assignment 2: Homework on "Accessing Parent Properties. Overriding Properties"

• Solution
• Description: Task "Cannot Change, Only Get":
  • Implement a Vehicle class and its subclass Sedan. The Vehicle class should have private attributes for model, engine power, and color, which can be retrieved but not directly modified. The Sedan class should inherit these properties and include an additional passenger limit.

Assignment 3: Homework on "Multiple Inheritance"

• Solution
• Description: Task "Mythical Inheritance":
  • Create classes Horse, Eagle, and Pegasus. Pegasus should inherit from both Horse and Eagle, and include methods for both running and flying, as well as returning its current position and sound.

Additional Assignment: Practical Exercise on "Class Inheritance"

• Solution
• Description: Task "They All Look So Alike":
  • Implement a hierarchy of 2D and 3D geometric shapes using classes. Create a base class Figure, and subclasses Circle, Triangle, and Cube. Each shape should have methods for managing dimensions, colors, and calculating area or volume.
