A child class defines __init__ but forgets to call super().__init__(). What breaks, and when?

Code

class Animal:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self.alive = True

class Dog(Animal):
    def __init__(self, name, breed):
        self.breed = breed

d = Dog("Rex", "Labrador")
print(d.breed)
print(d.name)

class Animal: def __init__(self, name): self.name = name self.alive = True class Dog(Animal): def __init__(self, name, breed): self.breed = breed d = Dog("Rex", "Labrador") print(d.breed) print(d.name)
