[Solved] You have a class Vehicle with a method start that prints "Vehicle started".... How should you write the start method in Car? | Python

Python - Inheritance and Code Reuse

You have a class Vehicle with a method start that prints "Vehicle started". You want to create a Car class that overrides start to print "Car started" but also call the Vehicle start method. How should you write the start method in Car?

Adef start(self): print('Car started') Vehicle.start()

Bdef start(self): super().start() print('Car started')

Cdef start(self): print('Car started')

Ddef start(self): Vehicle.start()

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Use super() to call parent method
super().start() calls Vehicle's start method properly with self.
Step 2: Add Car's own print after parent call
Printing 'Car started' after calling parent method shows both messages.
Final Answer:
def start(self): super().start() print('Car started') -> Option B
Quick Check:
Use super() to call parent method inside override [OK]

Quick Trick: Call parent method with super() before child code [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Calling Vehicle.start without self
Not calling parent method at all
Calling parent method after child's print (if order matters)
