Python Class Inheritance Assignment

Overview

This project demonstrates object-oriented programming concepts in Python, specifically focusing on inheritance patterns, multiple inheritance, and the use of __slots__. The project implements various classes representing academic roles (Student, Professor, Employee) with a common base class (Person).

Features

• Single inheritance hierarchy with Person as base class
• Multiple inheritance demonstration with StudentProfessor
• Use of __slots__ for memory optimization in Location class
• Comprehensive test suite using pytest
• Automated testing with GitHub Actions

Class Structure

• Person: Base class with basic personal information
• Student: Inherits from Person, adds grade information
• Professor: Inherits from Person, adds course information
• Employee: Inherits from Person, adds department information
• StudentProfessor: Multiple inheritance example
• Location: Demonstrates __slots__ usage

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• pytest
