How do I use super in classes?

What does 'super' do in Python classes?

The 'super' function in Python is used to call methods from a parent class. It helps in accessing inherited methods.

Can you give me an example of using 'super'?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

class Parent:
    def __init__(self):
        print('Parent class initialized')

class Child(Parent):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()  # Calls the Parent's __init__ method
        print('Child class initialized')

In this example, when you create an instance of Child, it will also initialize Parent.

What happens if I don't use 'super'?

If you don't use 'super', the parent class's methods won't be called, which can lead to missing initialization or functionality.

Are there any best practices for using 'super'?

Yes, it's best to use 'super' in a consistent way, especially in multiple inheritance scenarios, to avoid complexity and ensure proper method resolution.
