Worksheet 16.18 Group Work - Working with Multiple Classes
It is best to use a POGIL approach with the following. In POGIL students work in groups on activities and each member has an assigned role. For more information see https://cspogil.org/Home.
Learning Objectives
Students will know and be able to do the following.
Content Objectives:
-
Define a parent and child class.
-
Predict the output from code with inheritance.
-
Describe how a child can override an inherited method.
-
Call the parent constructor
Subsection 16.18.1 Inheritance
One class can inherit attributes and behavior from another class. The class that is inherited from is called the parent or base class. The one that is inheriting is called the child or derived class.
Activity 16.18.1.
Activity 16.18.2.
Run the following code
Look at the classes defined above. Then answer the following questions.
Activity 16.18.3.
Activity 16.18.4.
Activity 16.18.5.
Activity 16.18.6.
Activity 16.18.7.
Drag the blocks from the left and put them in the correct order on the right to define two classes:
Car and SportsCar that inherits from Car. Add an __init__ method to the Car class that takes a make and sets the current object’s make. Add a __str__ method to the Car class and return a string with the make. Add an __init__ method to the SportsCar class that calls the parent class __init__ method.
Look at the code below and answer the following questions.
Activity 16.18.8.
Activity 16.18.9.
Activity 16.18.10.
Run the following code
Activity 16.18.11.
What happens when a class doesn’t have a __str__ method and you print an object?
-
You get an error
-
It won’t cause an error
-
It prints None
-
It doesn’t print None
-
It prints the type of the object (the class name)
-
It prints the type of the object (the class name)
-
It prints the variable name
-
It does not print the variable name
Modify the code above to add a __str__ method to the Greeter class that returns the self.message and run the code again.
Subsection 16.18.2 Overriding an Inherited Method
The child class can override an inherited method. This means it provides the same method name and parameter list as an inherited method.
Activity 16.18.12.
Activity 16.18.13.
Activity 16.18.14.
Run the following code
