What is method overriding in Python?

What is method overriding in Python?

Method overriding in Python allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass.

Can you give me an example of method overriding?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

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

class Dog(Animal):
    def speak(self):
        return "Woof!"

my_dog = Dog()
print(my_dog.speak())  # Output: Woof!"

What happens if I don't override a method?

If you don't override a method, the subclass will inherit the method from the superclass, using the original implementation.

Are there any rules for method overriding?

Yes, when overriding a method, the method name and parameters must match the original method in the superclass.
