because i will need to set values of all three arguments to define an instance

how can i avoid setting the 2nd argument (its value should be fix , i.e "foe")

or is there any other way to do this ig?

class E:
    def __init__(self, a, b=2):
        self.a=a
        self.b=b

class D(E):
    def __init__(self, a, c, b=None):
        super().__init__(a, b)
        self.c = c

test = D(1, 3)
print(test.a, test.b, test.c)

you have unused "b" parameter in your Enemy class

so move the argument to the last place in init method of an Entity class and give it a default value

[high jewel]

But default value of entity behaviour attribute should be foe for enemy class only

Hope that makes sense

[robust goblet]

then, make a default of "foe"
so the init would look:

...(self, a, b, c="foe")

then:

super().__init__(a, c)

Then you can create a class: ("Golem", 78)
and the third parameter is not given, so by default it is "foe" which will be passed to the Entity class

[high jewel]

No , if I create an instance in enemy class I NEED. 3 arguments

I think

[odd moat]

class Entity:
    def __init__(self, name, behavior):
        self.name = name
        self.behavior = behavior

class Enemy(Entity):
    def __init__(self, name, type_):
        super().__init__(name=name, behavior="foe")
        self.type_ = type_

enemy1 = Enemy("Golem", 78)

Nothing wrong with defaulting the arg without actually naming it in the init for Enemy, if that's what you want.

[robust goblet]

No, you don't need 3 arguments

[odd moat]

And enemy1.behavior is still accessible and changeable later.

I need to check brb

I need some sleep tbh
