the derived class will be executed.

For example, the get_email() method in our example can be implemented in the following way:

class Person:
    def __init__(self, name, personal_email, contact_number):
        self.name = name
        self.email = personal_email
        self.contact_number = contact_number

    def get_email(self):
        return self.email

    def get_contact_number(self):
        return self.contact_number


class Employee(Person):
    def __init__(self, name, personal_email, contact_number, company_name, employee_id, company_email):
        super().__init__(name, personal_email, contact_number)
        self.company_name = company_name
        self.employee_id = employee_id
        self.company_email = company_email

    def get_company_name(self):
        return self.company_name

    def get_employee_id(self):
        return self.employee_id

    def get_email(self):
        return self.company_email

employee = Employee("Ajay", "[email protected]", "1234", "ABC Company", "0123", "[email protected]")
print(employee.get_email())

The get_email() function is defined in both the Person class and the Employee class. Here, we are creating an employee object of the Employee class and then we are calling the employee.get_email() method. Here, though the base class has a function with the same name, the get_email() function of the derived class will be executed and the function will return the company email address of the employee.

So, the above program will print the following output:
