Determining if an Object is Aware or Naive

in

From better error messages to task and exception groups for asynchronous programming, there are plenty of reasons to upgrade to the latest version of Python. But be sure to test your code on Python 3.11 first to ensure compatibility with all libraries and frameworks.
In terms of object-oriented programming, one exciting new feature in Python 3.11 is subclassing. With this concept, you can create a new class that inherits properties from an existing parent class. For example, let’s say we want to define a rectangle with some length and breadth. We could use the following code:

# Define a class called Rectangle
class Rectangle:
    # Define a constructor method that takes in two parameters: length and breadth
    def __init__(self, length, breadth):
        # Set the length and breadth attributes of the Rectangle object to the values passed in as parameters
        self.length = length
        self.breadth = breadth
    
    # Define a method called calculate_area that calculates the area of the Rectangle object
    def calculate_area(self):
        # Return the product of the length and breadth attributes
        return self.length * self.breadth
    
    # Define a method called calculate_perimeter that calculates the perimeter of the Rectangle object
    def calculate_perimeter(self):
        # Return the sum of twice the length and twice the breadth attributes
        return 2 * (self.length + self.breadth)

Now, let’s say we want to create a new class called Square that inherits properties from the Rectangle class. We can do this using subclassing:

# Creating a new class called Square that inherits properties from the Rectangle class
class Square(Rectangle):
    # Defining the constructor method with the parameter side_length
    def __init__(self, side_length):
        # Calling the constructor of the parent class (Rectangle) with the arguments side_length and side_length
        super().__init__(side_length, side_length)
    
    # Defining a method to calculate the perimeter of a square
    def calculate_perimeter(self):
        # Using the inherited method from the parent class (Rectangle) to calculate the side length of the square
        # and multiplying it by 4 to get the perimeter
        return 4 * self.calculate_side_length()

In this example, we’re creating a new class called Square that inherits properties from the Rectangle class. When we create an instance of the Square class, it will automatically inherit all the methods and attributes defined in the Rectangle class. This can save us time and effort when writing code for similar classes with similar functionality.
Overall, Python 3.11’s subclassing feature is a powerful tool that allows you to create more complex and sophisticated object-oriented programs.
