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

Look at the declaration of Executive.__init__:

def __init__(self, name, wage, yearlyBonus):

Nowhere in there does it declare a variable named salary. But when you call the superclass constructor,

    Employee.__init__(self, name, salary) 

you are asking Python to pass the value of a variable named salary as the third parameter. Python is just complaining that this variable does not exist.

I imagine you can figure out how to fix it from there. :-)
