This beginner course covers essential Python programming concepts, laying the groundwork for more specialized courses on domain-specific Python libraries.

Python is an important programming language used in data science, machine learning, web scraping, and web application development, making it essential for modern developers.
This course starts with teaching fundamental programming concepts in Python 3, including conditional execution, repetition, and functions, before moving on to advanced topics like data structures and object-oriented programming. Quizzes and hands-on coding challenges along the way help reinforce what you have learned.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in Python programming, enabling you to write clean and efficient code and tackle more advanced topics and projects with confidence.

What will be the output of the following code?
```python
class Animal:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

    def speak(self):
        return "Some sound"

class Dog(Animal):
    def speak(self):
        return "Woof!"

dog = Dog("Buddy")
print(dog.speak())
```

What will be the output of the following code?
<pre><code class="language-python">class Animal:
 def __init__(self, name):
 self.name = name

 def speak(self):
 return &quot;Some sound&quot;

class Dog(Animal):
 def speak(self):
 return &quot;Woof!&quot;

dog = Dog(&quot;Buddy&quot;)
print(dog.speak())
</code></pre>

What will be the output of the following code?
```python
class Parent:
    def __init__(self):
        self.value = "Parent"

    def show(self):
        print(self.value)

class Child(Parent):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = "Child"

c = Child()
c.show()
```

What will be the output of the following code?
<pre><code class="language-python">class Parent:
 def __init__(self):
 self.value = &quot;Parent&quot;

 def show(self):
 print(self.value)

class Child(Parent):
 def __init__(self):
 super().__init__()
 self.value = &quot;Child&quot;

c = Child()
c.show()
</code></pre>

You are designing a system for a zoo. There are different types of `Animals`, such as `Lions`, `Tigers`, and `Bears`. All animals have common attributes like `name` and `age`, and behaviors like `eat()` and `sleep()`. `Lions` have an additional behavior `roar()`, `Tigers` have `hunt()`, and `Bears` have `hibernate()`.

Which type of inheritance is best suited for this design?
