Inheritance

This document is a Python lab focused on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts, including classes, objects, methods, inheritance, and polymorphism. It provides step-by-step tasks to create a Car class, add attributes and methods, implement inheritance with an ElectricCar subclass, and demonstrate polymorphism through method overriding. Each step includes code examples and outputs to illustrate the concepts effectively.

Python Lab: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Python

This lab will introduce Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts in Python, covering classes,
objects, constructors, attributes, methods, inheritance, and polymorphism.

🔹 Step 1: Creating a Simple Class and Object


A class is a blueprint for creating objects, and an object is an instance of a class.

Task 1: Create a Car class and instantiate an object


class Car:
def __init__(self, brand, color): # Constructor
self.brand = brand # Attribute
self.color = color # Attribute

def drive(self): # Method


print(f"The {self.color} {self.brand} is driving.")

# Creating an object (instance of Car)


my_car = Car("Toyota", "Red")

# Accessing attributes and calling a method


print(my_car.brand) # Output: Toyota
my_car.drive() # Output: The Red Toyota is driving.

🔹 Step 2: Understanding Instance and Class Attributes

Task 2: Add a class attribute and use it


class Car:
wheels = 4 # Class attribute

def __init__(self, brand, color):


self.brand = brand # Instance attribute
self.color = color # Instance attribute

# Creating objects
car1 = Car("Honda", "Blue")
car2 = Car("Ford", "Black")

print(car1.wheels) # Output: 4
print(car2.wheels) # Output: 4

💡 Question:

🔹 Step 3: Adding More Methods

class Car:
def __init__(self, brand, color):
self.brand = brand
self.color = color

def drive(self):
print(f"The {self.color} {self.brand} is driving.")

def stop(self):
print(f"The {self.brand} has stopped.")

def honk(self):
print(f"{self.brand} is honking! Beep Beep!")

# Creating an object
my_car = Car("Tesla", "White")

# Calling methods
my_car.drive()
my_car.stop()
my_car.honk()

🔹 Step 4: Inheritance (Reusing Code)


Task 4: Create an ElectricCar subclass

class Car:
def __init__(self, brand, color):
self.brand = brand
self.color = color

def drive(self):
print(f"The {self.color} {self.brand} is driving.")

# Child class (inherits from Car)


class ElectricCar(Car):
def __init__(self, brand, color, battery_capacity):
super().__init__(brand, color) # Call parent constructor
self.battery_capacity = battery_capacity

def charge(self):
print(f"{self.brand} is charging. Battery: {self.battery_capacity} kWh")

# Creating an object of ElectricCar


my_electric_car = ElectricCar("Tesla", "Blue", 75)

# Accessing methods from the parent class


my_electric_car.drive()
# Calling a method from the ElectricCar class
my_electric_car.charge()

🔹 Step 5: Polymorphism (Method Overriding

Task 5: Override drive() method


python
CopyEdit
class Car:
def drive(self):
print("The car is driving.")

class ElectricCar(Car):
def drive(self): # Overriding method
print("The electric car is driving silently.")

# Creating objects
car1 = Car()
car2 = ElectricCar()

car1.drive() # Output: The car is driving.


car2.drive() # Output: The electric car is driving silently.

💡 Question:
• What if we remove the drive() method in ElectricCar?
