So if I have a class:
class Person(object):
'''A class with several methods that revolve around a person's Name and Age.'''
def __init__(self, name = 'Jane Doe', year = 2012):
'''The default constructor for the Person class.'''
self.n = name
self.y = year
And then this subclass:
class Instructor(Person):
'''A subclass of the Person class, overloads the constructor with a new parameter.'''
def __init__(self, name, year, degree):
Person.__init__(self, name, year)
I'm a bit lost on how to get the subclass to call and use the parent class constructor for name and year, while adding the new parameter degree in the subclass.
解决方案
Python recommends using super().
Python 2:
super(Instructor, self).__init__(name, year)
Python 3:
super().__init__(name, year)
