Answer 1

I tried to tell, the correct way to create class with inheritence in your last question..
Look it again...
Your class declaration for child class is in wrong way,..

Answer 2

So is the constructor for the child class required as well as super constructor? Thank you so much for your help.

Answer 3

I want to have the parameters declared in the child class before the instance so they don't have to be declared with each instance. I am trying to create a "Pieces" class that has the basic parameters and a "GreenPawns" class which inherets and fills in the parameters, and then an instance of each pawn. I hope this isn't too much, but thank you for trying to help.

Answer 4

Sorry! I think I figured it out now. This is what I wanted:

class Pieces:
def __init__ (self, color, letter, start_range, move, capture):
self.color = color
self.letter = letter
self.start_range = start_range
self.move = move
self.capture = capture

class GreenPawn(Pieces):
color = 'green'
letter = 'P'
start_range = [8,16]
move = [8,16]
capture = [7,8,14,16]
pass

Answer 5

#May be you are trying like this :

class Pieces:
def __init__(self, color, letter, start_range, move, capture):
self.color = color
self.letter = letter
self.start_range = start_range
self.move = move
self.capture = capture

class GreenPawn(Pieces):
def __init__(self,color='green', letter='P', start_range=[8,16], move=[8,16], capture=[7,9]):
super().__init__(color,letter,start_range,move,capture)
self.color = color
self.letter = letter
self.start_range = start_range
self.move = move
self.capture = capture

obj = GreenPawn() #none passing
print(obj.color)

#Hope it helps to understand it..

Base class is called in the subclass constructor by super() method. And it have **keyword arguments so you can pass only required parameters in the object. I think, You can also, reduce initializations in the child class if any unnecessary redundents.. You can try if you want..
