What is single inheritance in Python?

Can you explain what single inheritance is in Python?

Single inheritance in Python is a type of inheritance where a class (child) inherits from only one parent class.

What are the benefits of using single inheritance?

The benefits include simplicity, easier understanding of the class hierarchy, and reduced complexity in the code.

Can you give me an example of single inheritance?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

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

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

In this case, Dog inherits from Animal.

What happens if I try to inherit from multiple classes?

That would be called multiple inheritance, which can lead to complexity and ambiguity, especially with method resolution.
