4.8. Inheritance Recap

  • no inheritance

  • single inheritance

  • linear inheritance

  • multiple inheritance (mixin classes)

  • aggregation

  • composition

4.8.1. No Inheritance

class Admin(User, Staff):
    pass

4.8.5. Aggregation

class User:
    pass


class Staff:
    pass


class Admin:
    def __init__(self):
        self.permissions = [User(), Staff()]

4.8.6. Composition

class Staff:
    pass


class Admin:
    def __init__(self):
        self.user = User()
        self.staff = Staff()

# - Name: Inheritance Recap Decomposition
# - Difficulty: easy
# - Lines: 30
# - Minutes: 5

# %% English
# 1. Refactor class `Hero` to use multiple inheritance
# 2. Name mixin classes: `HasHealth` and `HasPosition`
# 3. Note, that order of inheritance is important
#    - Try to inherit from `HasPosition`, `HasHealth`
#    - Then `HasHealth`, `HasPosition`
#    - What changed and why?
# 4. Run doctests - all must succeed

# %% Polish
# 1. Zrefaktoruj klasę `Hero` aby użyć wielodziedziczenia
# 2. Nazwij klasy domieszkowe: `HasHealth` i `HasPosition`
# 3. Zwróć uwagę, że kolejność dziedziczenia ma znaczenie
#    - Spróbuj dziedziczyć po `HasPosition`, `HasHealth`
#    - A później `HasHealth`, `HasPosition`
#    - Co się zmieniło i dlaczego?
# 4. Uruchom doctesty - wszystkie muszą się powieść
