When you initialize a child class in Python, you can call the super(). __init__() method. This initializes the parent class object into the child class. In addition to this, you can add child-specific information to the child object as well.
The super() function is used to give access to methods and properties of a parent or sibling class. The super() function returns an object that represents the parent class.
In AS2, you can pass parameters to a super class's constructor using super() . This is handy, but what if your constructor accepts an undefined number of parameters, and you want to pass them all to your super constructor (think of the Array class, for instance)?
The “__init__” is a reserved method in python classes. It is known as a constructor in Object-Oriented terminology. This method when called, allows the class to initialize the attributes of the class. The super() function allows us to avoid using the base class name explicitly.
First, here is my code:
class Enemy():
def __init__(self, name, hp, damage):
self.name = name
self.hp = hp
self.damage = damage
def is_alive(self):
"""Checks if alive"""
return self.hp > 0
class WildBoar(Enemy):
def __init__(self):
super(WildBoar, name="Wild Boar", hp=10, damage=2).__init__()
class Marauder(Enemy):
def __init__(self):
super(Marauder, name="Marauder", hp=20, damage=5).__init__()
class Kidnappers(Enemy):
def __init__(self):
super(Kidnappers, name="The Kidnappers", hp=30, damage=7).__init__()
When I compile this I get this error:
super(WildBoar, name="Wild Boar", hp=10, damage=2).__init__()
TypeError: super does not take keyword arguments
I tried looking around for any kind of help but I couldn't find anything. I also have some Kwargs in some other class's supers, but these are the ones raising any kind of issues (as of right now). So what could be causing this? I've also seen someone say that putting a super in the base class will fix it, but it didn't work (I passed in the same arguments that are in the Base class's __init__).
