To call the parent's class method instead of the current one, we use the\_`super()`\_method in Python.

## Code

We create the `Cat` object. The `super()` method inside the `Cat` object refers to the parent's
class `Animal`. So `Animal` constructor is called first. 

Afterward, go back to the `Cat` constructor, initialize the `age` attribute and print the message.

class Animal:
  def __init__(self, name):
    print('Calling Animal constructor')
    self.name = name

class Cat(Animal):
  def __init__(self, name, age):
    super().__init__(name)
    self.age = age
    print('Calling Cat constructor')

cat = Cat('Archie', 12)

The object-oriented paradigm allows developers to create and structure programs using objects with predefined behavior. This is a widely used style of software organization that is easy for the development team to understand. Like most other programming languages, Python supports and implements this paradigm.

The first step is to understand the key statements. Classes, objects, attributes, methods...

Encapsulation provides access to the methods and attributes of the class.

Inheritance's main idea is to use already defined classes and produce new ones by improving and extending some other classes.

This OOP principle allows the user to change the parent class functionality and adapt it to the children's class.
