Python4e Gaddis ch11 Drake

Chapter 11 of 'Starting Out with Python 4e' covers the concept of inheritance in object-oriented programming. It includes true/false and multiple-choice questions that test understanding of inheritance, polymorphism, and UML diagrams. Key points include the ability of subclasses to inherit and override methods from superclasses, as well as the relationships between classes.
