What is overriding?
Short answer. The child reuses the parent's method name with different work.
What does Kid().fare() print?
50.
Remember
| Same method name in the child |
| The child's version wins |
Parent and child both have a fare method. Which one runs? The child reuses the method name. This is overriding. Python checks the child first, so Kid prints fifty. Same name means overriding. The child's version wins.
