How do I override methods in Python classes?

How do I override methods in Python classes?

To override a method in a Python class, you define a method in a subclass with the same name as the method in the parent class.

Can you give me an example of method overriding?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

class Animal:
    def speak(self):
        return "Animal sound"

class Dog(Animal):
    def speak(self):
        return "Bark"

my_dog = Dog()
print(my_dog.speak())  # Output: Bark

What happens if I don't use the same method name?

If you don't use the same method name, the method in the subclass won't override the parent class method; instead, it will be treated as a new method.

Can I call the parent class method from the subclass?

Yes, you can call the parent class method using super(). For example:

class Dog(Animal):
    def speak(self):
        return super().speak() + " and Bark"
