14. Multiple Inheritance

Multiple Inheritance
In this exercise, you'll get some practical experience with multiple inheritance. If you have class
Animal
and another class
Pet
, then you can construct a class
Dog
, which inherits from both of these base classes. In doing this, you are able to incorporate attributes of multiple base classes.
The Core Guidelines have some worthwhile recommendations about how and when to use multiple inheritance:
- "Use multiple inheritance to represent multiple distinct interfaces"
- "Use multiple inheritance to represent the union of implementation attributes"
Instructions
-
Review
class Dog, which inherits from bothAnimalandPet. -
Declare a
class Cat, with a member attributecolor, that also inherits from bothAnimalandPet. -
Instantiate an object of
class Cat. -
Configure that object to pass the tests in
main().
Workspace
This section contains either a workspace (it can be a Jupyter Notebook workspace or an online code editor work space, etc.) and it cannot be automatically downloaded to be generated here. Please access the classroom with your account and manually download the workspace to your local machine. Note that for some courses, Udacity upload the workspace files onto https://github.com/udacity , so you may be able to download them there.
