As in add another argument to B's initializer? e.g.

class B(A):
    def __init__(self, name, address):
        A.__init__(self, name)
        self.address =3D address

Now, with

b =3D B('John Doe', 'Homeless')

you just get his name via b.name.

If you have any questions keep hollering

With my best regards,
G. Rodrigues

  hello everyone.=20
  if i make a class like this

  class A:
      def __init__(self,name):
          self.name=3Dname

  then i make another class that inherits from A its name attribute

  class B(A):
      def __init__(self, address):
          A.__init__(self,name)
          self.address=3Daddress

  but instances of B have addresses also.
  how can B inherit its name from initializing A?

  if my question makes any sense , please explain?
