Understanding Inheritance in Python

Inheritance allows a class to use and extend the properties and methods of another class. It promotes code reusability and reduces duplication. Think of it as “child learns from parent.” 👨‍👦‍💻

Code Duplication: Program Without Inheritance

When classes share common attributes or methods (such as first_name, last_name, and get_age), implementing them separately leads to redundant code, as shown below:

import datetime

class TennisPlayer:
    def __init__(self, fname, lname, birth_year):
        self.first_name = fname
        self.last_name = lname
        self.birth_year = birth_year
        self.aces = []

    def get_age(self):
        now = datetime.datetime.now()
        return now.year -
