Classes and Subclasses Python

Question

I am trying to learn Classes and Subclasses. So, I started with this...

class Class1:
 def __init__(self, name):
 self.name = name
 self.valx = "With Class1"
 def __repr__(self):
 return "Result: %s - %s " % (self.name, self.valx)
option1 = Class1("Paul")
print(option1)

Result: Paul - With Class1

But now, I want to work with a Subclass and set the value of valx to With Class1 or With Class2 in relation to Class or Subclass.

I want to reach or obtain this

option1 = Class1("Paul")
print(option1)

Result: Paul - With Class1

option2 = Class2("Paul")
print(option2)

Result: Paul - With Class2

My idea was to add

class Class2(Class1):
 self.valx = "With Class2"

But I doesn ́t work and I ́m trying all what my mind can without results. Anyone can help me?

Remember that I ́m learning! Happy Holidays!

Answer 1

You have to overwrite the __init__ method in Class2:

class Class2(Class1):
 def __init__(self, name):
 super().__init__(name) # call __init__ of super class
 self.valx = "With Class2"
