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.
