Object oriented programming (OOP) paradigm is built around the idea of having objects that belong to a particular type. In a sense, the type is what explains us the object.

Everything in Python is an object and every object has a type. These types are declared and defined using  classes. Thus, classes can be considered as the heart of OOP.

In order to develop robust and well-designed software products with Python, it is essential to obtain a comprehensive understanding of OOP. In this article, we will elaborate on two key concepts of OOP which are inheritance and polymorphism.

Both inheritance and polymorphism are key ingredients for designing robust, flexible, and easy-to-maintain software. These concepts are best explained via examples. Let’s start with creating a simple class.
