INHERITANCE

Inheritance allows a class (called a child class or subclass) to inherit


attributes and methods from another class (called a parent class or
superclass).

Single Inheritance
Multiple Inheritance
Multilevel Inheritance
Hierarchical Inheritance
Hybrid Inheritance

1. Single Inheritance

A child class inherits from one parent class.

class Animal:
def speak(self):
print("Animal speaks")

class Dog(Animal):
def bark(self):
print("Dog barks")
2. Multiple Inheritance

A child class inherits from more than one parent class.

class Father:
def skills(self):
print("Gardening, Programming")

class Mother:
def skills(self):
print("Cooking, Art")

class Child(Father, Mother):


pass

3. Multilevel Inheritance

A child class inherits from a parent class, and another class


inherits from that child class.

class Grandparent:
def house(self):
print("Grandparent's house")

class Parent(Grandparent):
def car(self):
print("Parent's car")

class Child(Parent):
def bike(self):
print("Child's bike")
4. Hierarchical Inheritance

Multiple child classes inherit from a single parent class.

class Animal:
def eat(self):
print("Eating")

class Dog(Animal):
def bark(self):
print("Barking")

class Cat(Animal):
def meow(self):
print("Meowing")

5. Hybrid Inheritance

A combination of two or more types of inheritance.
