[Solved] Identify the error in this code:class Vehicle: def start(self): print('Vehicle started') class Car(Vehicle): def start(self): super.start() print('Car started') c = Car() c.start() | Python

Python - Inheritance and Code Reuse

Identify the error in this code:

class Vehicle:
    def start(self):
        print('Vehicle started')

class Car(Vehicle):
    def start(self):
        super.start()
        print('Car started')

c = Car()
c.start()

ACar class should not override start()

BMissing return statement in start()

Csuper.start() should be super().start()

DVehicle class must inherit from object explicitly

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check super() usage
In Python 3, super() must be called with parentheses to return a proxy object.
Step 2: Identify error
The code uses super.start() which is invalid syntax; it should be super().start().
Final Answer:
super.start() should be super().start() -> Option C
Quick Check:
super() requires parentheses to call methods [OK]

Quick Trick: Always use super() with parentheses to call parent methods [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Calling super.method() without parentheses
Forgetting to override methods properly
Assuming explicit object inheritance is required in Python 3
