Inheritance - Part 2
How would you design and implement placing order with the
details of all the products bought?

Composition

Modelling instances of one class as attributes of another class is called

Code
PYTHON

1 class Product:
2
3 def __init__(self, name, price, deal_price, rat
4 self.name = name
5 self.price = price
6 self.deal_price = deal_price
7 self.ratings = ratings
8 self.you_save = price - deal_price
9
10 def display_product_details(self):
11 print("Product: {}".format(self.name))
Expand

Output

Product: Milk
Price: 40
Deal Price: 25
You Saved: 15
Ratings: 3.5
Quantity: 2
Product: TV
Price: 45000
Deal Price: 40000
You Saved: 5000

In the above example, we are modelling Product as attribute of Order

Overriding Methods

Sometimes, we require a method in the instances of a sub class to behave

Code
PYTHON

1 class Product:
2
3 def __init__(self, name, price, deal_price, rating
4 self.name = name
5 self.price = price
6 self.deal_price = deal_price
7 self.ratings = ratings
8 self.you_save = price - deal_price
9
10 def display_product_details(self):
11 print("Product: {}".format(self.name))
Expand

Output

RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

Because

self.display_product_details() in ElectronicItem class does not call the

Super

Accessing Super Class’s Method

super() allows us to call methods of the superclass (Product) from the

Instead of writing and methods to access and modify warranty we can

__init__

Let's add warranty of ElectronicItem.

Code
PYTHON

1 class Product:
2
3 def __init__(self, name, price, deal_price, rating
4 self.name = name
5 self.price = price
6 self.deal_price = deal_price
7 self.ratings = ratings
8 self.you_save = price - deal_price
9
10 def display_product_details(self):
11 print("Product: {}".format(self.name))
Expand

Output

Product: Laptop
Price: 45000
Deal Price: 40000
You Saved: 5000
Ratings: 3.5
Warranty 10 months

MultiLevel Inheritance

We can also inherit from a subclass. This is called MultiLevel

We can continue such inheritance to any depth in Python.

Inheritance & Composition

When to use Inheritance?

Prefer modeling with inheritance when the classes have an IS-A

When to use Composition?

Prefer modeling with composition when the classes have a HAS-A
