Exercise: Overriding Inherited Method

Problem statement

You have been provided with a Person class with the variables name and age and a greet method. The greet method of the Person class is simply printing Hello for now.

You have also been provided a Customer class that inherits the name and age variables and the greet method from the Person class.

Therefore, your task is to write the greet() function of the Customer class that overrides the inherited greet method of the Person class. Instead of simply printing Hello, it will now print the values of the name and age variables as well as the value of the no_of_purchases variable, which will be the additional information in our Customer class.

Input

class Person(object):
  def __init__(self, name, age):
    self.name = name
    self.age = age

  def greet(self):
    print("Hello")

class Customer(Person):
  pass # Replace with your code

Output

Note: In the following example, the Customer class hasn’t been fully filled. The small preview given below is just to give you an idea of what you need to do.

class Customer(Person):

  def greet(self):
