🧬 Inheritance in Python (OOP)

📌 What is Inheritance?

Inheritance allows a class (child) to inherit properties and behavior (variables & methods) from another class (parent).

✅ It promotes code reusability and hierarchical relationships — just like how a child inherits traits from parents in real life.

🏠 Real-World Analogy

Parent Class: Vehicle 🚗

Child Classes: Car, Bike

They all share common features (like engine, speed) but also have unique features.

🧱 Syntax of Inheritance

class Parent:
    # parent class

class Child(Parent):
    # child class

🧪 Basic Example:

class Animal:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

    def speak(self):
        print(f"{self.name} makes a sound.")

class Dog(Animal):
    def bark(self):
        print(f"{self.name} barks!")

dog1 = Dog("Buddy")
dog1.speak()  # Inherited from Animal
dog1.bark()   # Defined in Dog

🔄 Types of Inheritance

1. Single Inheritance

One child inherits from one parent.
