Inheritance in Python

In this video the concept of inheritance in object-oriented programming is explained. Inheritance allows classes to share common behaviors and attributes, enabling code reuse and efficient modification. A superclass contains shared behavior, while subclasses refine it with specific methods or attributes. The example provided demonstrates a figure class as the superclass, with circle and rectangle classes as subclasses. The circle class has a radius attribute, and the rectangle class has length and width attributes, both inheriting the color attribute from the figure class. Inheritance enables access to superclass elements through the Super method, allowing for efficient coding and checking of subclass relationships using the issubclass function. This concept will be further explored in polymorphism in the next video.
