Multiple inheritance

In multiple inheritance, a class inherits the attributes and methods from more than one parent class. Let's take a simple example classmultiple.py:

class A():   def sum1(self,a,b):     c = a+b     return cclass B():   def sub1(self,a,b):     c = a-b      return cclass C(A,B):   passc_obj = C()print "Sum is ", c_obj.sum1(12,4)print "After substraction ",c_obj.sub1(45,5)

In the preceding code, we have created three classes. Class A contains a sum1() method, which performs the sum of two numbers. Class B contains a sub1() method, which performs the subtraction of two numbers. Class C is the class that inherits classes A and B. The c_obj instance is an instance of class C. The statement c_obj.sum1(12,4) calls the sum1() method of class A. The  ...
