To override a getter on a subclass in python, you need to use the @property
decorator on the subclass and define a new getter method with the same name as the property you are overriding. In the new getter method, you can define the behavior for the property in the subclass. Here's an example:
main.py295 chars15 lines
In this example, we have a parent class Parent
with an age
property that has a getter and a setter. The child class Child
inherits from the parent class and overrides the getter method for the age
property by defining a new age
property with the same name and using the @property
decorator. In the new getter method, we add 5 years to the parent's age before returning it.
Now, if we create instances of the parent and child classes and set their ages, we can see that the child's age is 5 years older than the parent's age:
main.py130 chars9 lines
This demonstrates how to override a getter method for a property in a subclass using Python's object-oriented programming features.
