Inheritance in OOP

MediumPython

Problem

What is inheritance, and can you give an example?

Implement a base Device class and a TemperatureSensor subclass that overrides the base describe method. Write describe_devices(devices) to create the appropriate object for each input record and return descriptions in the original order.

Input records contain type and name; temperature records also contain value. Return a list of strings.

Constraints

  • 0 <= devices.length <= 1000
  • Each record has a non-empty string name
  • Each record's type is either generic or temperature
  • Temperature values are integers from -100 to 200
  • Records must be represented in their original order

Function Signature

def describe_devices(devices):
