Using issubclass to modify a class

In this section, we will look at the issubclass built-in function. This function can be used to apply reflection on classes that are inherited by one or more parent classes or superclasses. This function is used to verify whether a class is a subclass of a specific parent and then modify the class accordingly.

Let’s begin by creating two classes with a simple set of variables. The classes will be named StoreCoupon and ManufacturerCoupon:

class StoreCoupon:

    product_name = "Strawberry Ice Cream"

    product_category = "Desserts"

    brand = "ABCBrand3"

    store = "Los Angeles Store"

    expiry_date = "10/1/2021"

    quantity = 10

class ManufacturerCoupon:

    product_name = "Strawberry Ice Cream"

  ...
