What will be the output of this code?

class Shape:
    def area(self):
        return 0

class Square(Shape):
    def __init__(self, side):
        self.side = side
    def area(self):
        return self.side * self.side

sq = Square(4)
print(sq.area())

A0

B4

C16

DError

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand class Square initialization and area method
Square stores side length 4 and calculates area as side * side.
Step 2: Calculate area
4 * 4 = 16, so sq.area() returns 16.
Final Answer:
16 -> Option C
Quick Check:
Square area = side² = 16 [OK]

Quick Trick: Child class can override methods and use attributes [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Using parent area method returning 0
Confusing side length with area
Syntax errors in __init__
