Learn to Program: Crafting Quality Code

Screenshot

This is a video lecture from Coursera Learn to Program Crafting Quality Code Course. So there is a quiz during the video.

class MyInt(int):
    # some code there

They gave 4 answers where I need to choose a right one. I've choose my answers one by one but finally they say that right is absolutely wrong answer.

int is a subclass of MyInt

This question Python: How do I make a subclass from a superclass? gives me absolutely right confirmation that I'am right.

Where is the truth?

Answer 1

If you inherit from a class, that class is the super-class. In the example int is the super (or base) class and MyInt is the subclass. They're wrong, just as you suspected. ;-)

Answer 2

There must be something wrong with the quiz, the code as written in the question is declaring that MyInt is a subclass of int (or equivalently: that int is the superclass of MyInt), no the other way around.
