Python Inheritance

Inheritance enable us to define a class that takes all the functionality from parent class and allows us to add more. In this article, you will learn to use inheritance in Python.

Inheritance is a powerful feature in object oriented programming.

It refers to defining a new class with little or no modification to an existing class. The new class is called derived (or child) class and the one from which it inherits is called the base (or parent) class.
