In Python, method overloading is not directly supported but can be achieved using default
arguments or *args.

2. What is the output of the following program?


# Parent class
class Animal:
# Properties
multicellular = True
eukaryotic = True

# Function breathe
def breathe(self):
print("I breathe oxygen.")

# Function feed
def feed(self):
print("I eat food.")

# Child class
class Herbivorous(Animal):
# Function feed (Overriding the parent class method)
def feed(self):
print("I eat only plants. I am vegetarian.")

# Creating an object of the child class


herbi = Herbivorous()

# Calling the overridden function feed()


herbi.feed()

# Calling the inherited function breathe()


herbi.breathe()

Out put:
I eat only plants. I am vegetarian. # Calls the overridden feed() method from Herbivorous class
I breathe oxygen. # Calls the inherited breathe() method from Animal class

1. Write a Python program to create a class to print an integer and a character with two
methods having the same name but different sequence of the integer and the character
parameters. For example, if the parameters of the first method are of the form (int n, char
c), then that of the second method will be of the form (char c, int n)

In Python, the multipledispatch module enables defining multiple versions of a method based
on different parameter types.

from multipledispatch import dispatch

class Display:
@dispatch(int, str)
def print_value(self, n, c):
print("Integer:", n, "Character:", c)

@dispatch(str, int)
def print_value(self, c, n):
print("Character:", c, "Integer:", n)

# Creating object
obj = Display()

# Calling methods with different parameter orders


obj.print_value(10, 'A') # Integer first, character second
obj.print_value('B', 20) # Character first, integer second

2. Write a Python program to create a class to print the area of a square and a rectangle.
The class has two methods with the same name but different number of parameters. The
method for printing area of rectangle has two parameters which are length and breadth
respectively while the other method for printing area of square has one parameter which is
side of square.

from multipledispatch import dispatch


class Shape:
@dispatch(int)
def area(self, side):
print("Area of Square:", side * side)

Programming with ‘Python’ Practical: 14 Lab Manual (Solved)

@dispatch(int, int)
def area(self, length, breadth):
print("Area of Rectangle:", length * breadth)

# Creating object
obj = Shape()

# Calling methods
obj.area(5) # Square (side = 5)
obj.area(4, 6) # Rectangle (length = 4, breadth = 6)

3. Write a Python program to create a class 'Degree' having a method 'getDegree' that
prints "I got a degree". It has two subclasses namely 'Undergraduate' and 'Postgraduate'
each having a method with the same name that prints "I am an Undergraduate" and "I am
a Postgraduate" respectively. Call the method by creating an object of each of the three
classes.

class Degree:
def getDegree(self):
print("I got a degree.")

class Undergraduate(Degree):
def getDegree(self):
print("I am an Undergraduate.")

class Postgraduate(Degree):
def getDegree(self):
print("I am a Postgraduate.")

# Creating objects of each class


d = Degree()
ug = Undergraduate()
pg = Postgraduate()

# Calling getDegree() method


d.getDegree() # Calls method from Degree class
ug.getDegree() # Calls overridden method from Undergraduate class
pg.getDegree() # Calls overridden method from Postgraduate class
