Using inheritance in python

Question

this is my homework assignment, I saw it posted on the website before, but it looks like it was unsolved and I got a different error message than a person asking that questi

Answer 1

Yes, your init function does not have variable named salary, which gives error when you passed it in to Employee.init.

class Executive(Employee):
    def __init__(self, name, wage, yearlyBonus):
        Employee.__init__(self, name, salary) 

when you do this

executive = Executive("Kerry", 520000, 1040000)

which one correlates to the salary? passed that as the employee init method. Better if you call the Employee constructor with super

Guessing from this method

def wage(self):
        return self._salary/26   

Maybe this is what you want (not sure how to account yearlyBonus though)

 class Executive(Employee):
        def __init__(self, name, wage, yearlyBonus):
            Employee.__init__(self, name, wage * 26)
