In general, the super keyword can be used to call overridden methods, access hidden fields or invoke a superclass's constructor. Feb 23, 2009 · Super simply guarantees we call the correct next class's method in the method resolution order, whereas the other way hard-codes the next method to be called, which makes cooperative multiple inheritance more difficult. Nov 3, 2015 · The one without super hard-codes its parent's method - thus is has restricted the behavior of its method, and subclasses cannot inject functionality in the call chain. The one with super has greater flexibility. The call chain for the methods can be intercepted and functionality injected. In fact, multiple inheritance is the only case where super() is of any use. I would not recommend using it with classes using linear inheritance, where it's just useless overhead. As for chaining super::super, as I mentionned in the question, I have still to find an interesting use to that. For now, I only see it as a hack, but it was worth mentioning, if only for the differences with Java (where you can't chain "super"). Dec 18, 2024 · 'super' object has no attribute '__sklearn_tags__'. This occurs when I invoke the fit method on the RandomizedSearchCV object. I suspect it could be related to compatibility issues between Scikit-learn and XGBoost or Python version. I am using Python 3.12, and both Scikit-learn and XGBoost are installed with their latest versions. I'm currently learning about class inheritance in my Java course and I don't understand when to use the super() call? Edit: I found this example of code where super.variable is used: class A { Sep 2, 2009 · The first (
