where did I go wrong in this code for it to give me 1instead of 2? class A: def method(self): print (1) class B(A): def method(self): print(2) B().method()

that printed 1 on my 3.5 python,but I got marked wrong,went for a hint and gave the answer as 2!!!

pl remember subclass methods override superclass methods. hence we need to use 'super()' to call superclass method. Shown in this example: class A: def method(self): print (1) class B(A): def method(self): print(2) print("calling superclass method") super().method() B().method()

are you sure you had that exact code with no typos? if you'd spelt method wrong in class B it would not have overwritten the method, so when you called it, you'd get the one in class A

You override the method in class B. Use super().method() you can get what you want.

As I understand: "class A": is a "Parent Class"; "class B" : "is the children". class Parent(): def __unit__(self, ParentProperty): self. ParentProperty= ParentProperty class Children(Parent): def __init__(self): Parent.__unit__(self,"for_parent_property_data") print(Children())
