Can you explain the concept of inheritance in Python?

 Inheritance is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming, including Python, which allows a class to inherit the properties and methods of another class. The class that is being inherited from is called the parent or superclass, and the class that inherits from it is called the child or subclass.

In Python, to create a subclass that inherits from a superclass, you simply specify the name of the superclass in parentheses after the name of the subclass when defining the subclass. For example, if you have a class called 'Animal' and you want to create a subclass called 'Dog' that inherits from 'Animal', you can define it like this:

In this example, 'Dog' inherits the '__init__' method and the 'speak' method from 'Animal'. The 'Dog' class overrides the speak method with its own implementation, but it still has access to the Animal version of the method if needed. The 'Dog' class also defines its own '__init__' method, which calls the 'Animal __init__' method using the 'super' function to set the 'species' attribute of the 'Dog' object.
Using inheritance can help to reduce code duplication and make it easier to organize and maintain your code. It allows you to define a common set of properties and methods in a superclass, and then specialize those properties and methods in subclasses as needed.
