AttributeError: type object 'BMW' has no attribute 'type'

class car:
        def __init__(self,model,year):
            self.model = model
            self.year = year


class BMW(car):
    def __init__(self,type,model,year):
        car.__init__(self,model,year)
        self.type = type

class Audi(car):
    def __init__(self,type1,model,year):
        car.__init__(self, model, year)
        self.type1 = type1

d500 = BMW('manual','500d',2020)
print(BMW.type)
print(BMW.model)
print(BMW.year)

Assuming you're wondering why the error AttributeError: type object 'BMW' has no attribute 'type' is being thrown:

You're instantiating an instance of BMW with: d500 = BMW('manual','500d',2020). However, in subsequent lines, you're referring to the class itself rather than the object that you've instantiated.

Since model, year and type are set in the constructor for car/BMW, BMW.type is not defined.

You need to call:

print(d500.type)
print(d500.model)
print(d500.year)

instead in order to refer to your newly created object.

You're trying to print the type from BMW, but you just set that object to the variable d500. Use d500 instead to access the attributes.

d500 = BMW('manual','500d',2020)
print(d500.type)
print(d500.model)
print(d500.year)
