Python Coding challenge - Day 434| What is the output of the following Python Code?

Code Explanation:

class A:

This defines a class named A. In Python, classes are blueprints for creating objects.

    def __init__(self): self.x = 1

This defines the constructor method for class A. It is automatically called when an object of class A is created.

self.x = 1 sets an instance variable x to 1 for any object of class A.

So, when you do A(), it creates an object with x = 1.

class B(A):

This defines another class B, which inherits from class A. That means B gets all the methods and properties of A unless they are overridden.

    def __init__(self): super().__init__(); self.x = 2

This is the constructor for class B.

super().__init__() calls the constructor of the parent class (A) — so it sets self.x = 1.

Immediately after that, self.x = 2 overrides the earlier value.

So, any object of class B will have x = 2, because self.x = 2 comes after the parent’s initialization.

print(A().x, B().x)

Now this prints the value of x for instances of both classes:

A().x creates an object of class A, which sets x = 1, and then prints that value.

B().x creates an object of class B, which first sets x = 1 (via super().__init__()), then changes it to 2, and prints that.

Final Output:
