Introduction

We'll define a subclass of Person called Manager that replaces the inherited giveRaise method with a more specialized version.

Demo

class Person: 
    def __init__(self, name, job=None, pay=0): 
        self.name = name # from www .ja  va  2  s . co  m
        self.job  = job 
        self.pay  = pay 
    def lastName(self): 
        return self.name.split()[-1] 
    def giveRaise(self, percent): 
        self.pay = int(self.pay * (1 + percent)) 
    def __repr__(self): 
        return '[Person: %s, %s]' % (self.name, self.pay) 

class Manager(Person): 
    def giveRaise(self, percent, bonus=.10):           # Redefine at this level 
        Person.giveRaise(self, percent + bonus)        # Call Person's version 

if __name__ == '__main__': 
    bob = Person('Bob Smith') 
    sue = Person('Sue Jones', job='dev', pay=100000) 
    print(bob) 
    print(sue) 
    print(bob.lastName(), sue.lastName()) 
    sue.giveRaise(.10) 
    print(sue) 
    tom = Manager('Tom Jones', 'mgr', 50000)           # Make a Manager: __init__ 
    tom.giveRaise(.10)                                 # Runs custom version 
    print(tom.lastName())                              # Runs inherited method 
    print(tom)                                         # Runs inherited __repr__
