How to let the constructor in the subclass inherit the constructor or base class?

Question

I have the following code segment, which is shown as follows along with its output

from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod
  
class AbstractClass(object, metaclass=ABCMeta):
    @abstractmethod
    def __init__(self, n):
        self.n = n
        print('the salary information')
 
 
class Employee(AbstractClass):
    def __init__(self, salary, name):
        self.salary = salary
        self.name = name
        super(AbstractClass,self).__init__()
 
emp1 = Employee(1000000, "Tom")
print(emp1.salary)
print(emp1.name)

I would like to let the subclass, e.g. Employee, can also inherit the functionality implemented in the constructor of AbstractClass. In specific, the print('the salary information') I added:

super(AbstractClass,self).__init__()  # which does not work

Answer 1

You need to pass the CURRENT class to super, not the parent. So:

        super(Employee,self).__init__()

Python will figure out which parent class to call.

When you do that, it won't work, because AbstractClass.__init__ requires an additional parameter that you aren't providing.

It has been correctly pointed out that this will suffice:

        super().__init__(0)
