Code Explanation:
1. Class Definition
class Hidden:
A new class named Hidden is created.
This class contains a private attribute.
2. Constructor of Hidden
def __init__(self):
self.__secret = 9
__init__ is the constructor.
self.__secret creates a private variable because of the double underscore __secret.
Python mangles its name internally to _Hidden__secret.
3. Child Class Definition
class Reveal(Hidden):
Reveal is a subclass of Hidden.
It inherits methods and attributes from Hidden, including the private one (internally renamed).
4. Method in Reveal
def test(self):
return hasattr(self, "__secret")
hasattr(self, "__secret") checks if the object has an attribute named "__secret".
BUT private attributes are name-mangled, so the real attribute name is:
_Hidden__secret
Therefore, "__secret" does not exist under that name.
So the result of hasattr(...) will be False.
5. Creating Object and Printing
print(Reveal().test())
A new Reveal object is created.
.test() is called → returns False.
False is printed on the screen.
Final Output
False
