In this article, you will learn how to refer to base class in Python.
Let’s say you have 2 classes, a base class named Father and a derived class named Son.
class Father(object):
def __init__(self, fatherGender):
print(fatherGender, 'is a male.')
class Son(Father):
def __init__(self):
print('Son is 20 years old.')
Refer to Base Class in Python
In order to refer to base class, you can use the super() method.
class Father(object):
def __init__(self, fatherGender):
print(fatherGender, 'is a male.')
class Son(Father):
def __init__(self):
print('Son is 20 years old.')
super().__init__('Son')
object = Son()
# Son is 20 years old.
# Son is a male.
Note: The super() method functions by referring to the base class in single inheritance.
