Method super()

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)

              
123456789101112

            
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)
copy
question mark

The last output is:

class Parent:
def __init__(self):
print('Parent constructor')
class Child(Parent):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
print('Child constructor')
print('The end')

child = Child()
