Inheritance/Polymorphism in Object Oriented Programming | Python for Beginners | Code with Kylie #10

We are LEVELING UP our object oriented programming. Once you start creating objects in Python using classes, you can step up your OOP game by incorporating inheritance and polymorphism!
Inheritance is when you can create child classes that inherit attributes and functions from the parent. These are often used when you have a more general overarching class but want to define more specific classes that may be similar but not quite the same. We do this in order to avoid copy-and-pasting a gazillion times.
In this video, we use dogs as an example of how inheritance can be used. I demonstrate how to create a parent class (superclass) and child class (subclass), and initialize both of them.
We can also have multiple inheritance, which is when a subclass can have multiple parents and inherits the unique functions and attributes of both of them. An example is a golden doodle!
Polymorphism is related to inheritance. Polymorphism means taking many forms. In OOP, this is often related to subclasses that override the parent method so that the more specific class might follow a different set of instructions. In my example, I use different barks of different breeds of doggos.
In practical terms, I've used this in past projects to account for the slight differences in the subclasses. For example, if we are calculating cost of an object, maybe one subclass is set in the US, and another class is specific to France.. we would use the subclass to change from dollars to euros in the France subclass and add an extra layer. We could do this with if-statements, but they might grow repetitive and confusing. Polymorphism is a cleaner way to implement something like this.

Thanks kylie!’ So whats next?

[@KylieYYing]

Good question.. I have a couple of directions - I want to do more tutorials and stuff, seems like most people want to see those. I also want to start talking about my research, make some videos that are less educational and more just about what you can do with CS. I want to inspire others!

[@MrHorse16]

Kylie Ying sounds great! Would love to hear more about your research

I have been through a full stack developer bootcamp, and months of self-study. After watching this video, I finally feel like I REALLY understand Inheritance and Polymorphism. Great examples! Thank you!

[@laurenm1696]

This video was EXACTLY what I was looking for when trying to practice these concepts. Thank you so much

[@andrewyoung222]

Clear, concise, pacey video and so helpful on these core concepts of OOP - deserves MANY more views! Thank you!

[@oluwalekeoyedeji444]

Was looking for someone who could explain this in a simple way, and found you after multiple trials of other sources. You just won a student, and I consider myself the privileged one here. Thanks a bunch.

[@dearlychrystabellereantill3050]

whoaa. ur so good at explaining everything in just a span of minutes. thank u so much. more videos like this, please

It's the third time that I come back to this video to brush up on my knowledge of Python inheritance! Thanks for this amazing video.

[@humdrumsnail1036]

I found Polymorphism a difficult concept to understand but after watching this video, I understood it perfectly well. Thnx for uploading great free content

[@rev.dr.metalmatt6827]

Great video, thank you so much! I was completely tripped up on the connection between a sub __init__ and super().__init__ and it makes complete sense now. Also I love the dog examples!

[@spianny]

I’m learning abit of python everyday and I’m really loving your videos! Super easy to understand and well explained!! Thank you soo much!! 🙏

[@chunhimcheung7296]

This is a fantastic video with a very simple and straight forward example - keep up the good work!

[@kyoli9847]

OMG this is like the best video in explaining inheritance and polymorphism. So basically for inheritance you just include the name of parent class in the bracket of the subclass, then for polymorphism is just the idea of defining a method that's already present in the parent class but with different content.

[@rachellai1164]

This video is exactly what I was looking for! You explain the concepts so clearly and using doggos really helps me to understand 🤣 thank you!

[@vivekup3424]

Great work Kylie. Your Python series is well explained and the examples you use make your videos more interesting.

[@Balkac]

Most simple explanation of Polymorfism I've seen so far :) Better than with build in dunder method usual examples.

[@KylieYYing]

Glad it helped! Actually I gave a bad example I think. Usually when a child class has two parent classes, you dont want the "grandparent" class to be the same. Probably shouldve made a "Pet" class or something

[@xenofeild983]

Sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question; is it possible to inherit some information but not all? let’s say the Poodle has shed_value = 0 but the Golden Retriever has a shed_value = 5. is there a way to make the Golden doodle class to inherit JUST the 0 value or the 5?

[@cuteypatootie]

Subbed great channel =)

[@omarkalom1962]

Thanks Kylie. 7:17 The super() in GoldenDoodle refers to which parent class?

[@KylieYYing]

All of them! Check this out :') class Parent: def __init__(self): print('Init parent') class Child1(Parent): def __init__(self): super().__init__() print('Init child1') class Child2(Parent): def __init__(self): super().__init__() print('Init child2') class GrandChild(Child1, Child2): def __init__(self): super().__init__() print('Init grandchild') GrandChild() This prints: "Init parent Init child2 Init child1 Init grandchild"

[@kaushikdr]

Thank you so much! I love your clear explanations. I am just wondering - since __init__ is already part of the parent class, we don't really need to create another function to override it, right? Also, what would happen if we have interfering properties between two parent classes (like friendliness for golden retrievers is 7 and friendliness for poodle is 10)?

[@KylieYYing]

Yeah we don't need init. Also I think this was a bad example. Ideally that would never happen to be honest. Like it should be maybe like an Animal class and a Pet class. If they overlap, there will probably be an error, but I haven't tried it

[@edmondchan4438]

Hi Kylie, great videos! I just had a question: in the parent class, this line is def __init__(self, name, age, friendliness) but when we call the parent class in the child class, it's super().__init__(name, age, friendliness). Is there a reason that there's no 'self' in the child class line as there is in the equivalent parent class line? Or is that just the way that it has to be written to work? Thanks!

[@buscapee]

You only need the self for initializing the class. And that was already done on the init method. The super is just for calling the previous definitions from the parent class

[@edmondchan4438]

@@buscapee ah thanks very much Mané!

[@cetilly]

@Kylie Ying Why not make "Dog" an abstract class?

[@KeepLearing]

Omg! Watching make sense in seconds where if I'd just continue reading it on code cademy then it'll take 5x longer and even that I'd probably would still be confused 😅
