I can not retrieve the value of a variable created only by the inherited child class.
Also, changing the value of a variable inherited from the parent class in the init of the child class does not apply.



Here's the parent class:



class Car():

def __init__(self, make, model, year):
self.make = make
self.model = model
self.year = year
self.odometer_reading = 0

def __str__(self):
return str(self.__class__) + ": " + str(self.__dict__)

def get_descriptive_name(self):
long_name = str(self.year) + ' ' + self.make + ' ' + self.model
return long_name.title()

def read_odometer(self):
print("This car has " + str(self.odometer_reading) + " miles on it.")

def update_odometer(self, mileage):
if mileage >= self.odometer_reading:
self.odometer_reading = mileage
else:
print("You can't roll back an odometer!")

def increment_odometer(self, miles):
self.odometer_reading += miles


And here's the child class:



class ElectricCar(Car):

def __init___(self, make, model, year):
super(ElectricCar, self).__init__(make, model, year)
self.odometer_reading = 100
self.battery_size = 70

def __str__(self):
return str(self.__class__) + ": " + str(self.__dict__)

def describe_battery(self):
print(self.battery_size)


Now, if I try to run this code:



my_tesla = ElectricCar('tesla', 'model s', 2016)
print(my_tesla)
print(my_tesla.describe_battery())


I get the following exception:



<class '__main__.ElectricCar'>:
{'make': 'tesla', 'model': 'model s', 'year': 2016, 'odometer_reading': 0}

AttributeError: 'ElectricCar' object has no attribute 'battery_size'


I have an oddmeter_reading variable whose value is 0 in the parent class.
I changed from child class to 100, but it did not apply.
Also, the variable battery_size, which is set only in the child class, is not created in init.



What's the problem? What am I missing?

    You wrote __init__ with three underscores at the right, so you did not "patch" the constructor.
