Python Coding challenge - Day 379| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

Importing Required Modules

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod  

ABC (Abstract Base Class) is imported from the abc module.

@abstractmethod is used to define an abstract method.

Defining an Abstract Class (X)

class X(ABC):  

    @abstractmethod  

    def display(self):  

        pass  

X is an abstract class because it inherits from ABC.

display(self) is marked as an abstract method using @abstractmethod.

Since display() has no implementation (pass), any subclass of X must override it to be instantiated.

Creating a Subclass (Y)

class Y(X):  

    pass  

Y is a subclass of X, but it does not implement the display() method.

Because display() is still missing, Y remains abstract and cannot be instantiated.

Attempting to Instantiate Y

obj = Y()  

Since Y does not provide an implementation for display(), it remains an abstract class.

Python does not allow instantiating an abstract class, so this line raises a TypeError.

Final Output:

TypeError
