Dynamic and Duck Typing

Duck typing is a concept in programming that focuses on the behavior of objects rather than their specific types. The term “duck typing” comes from the saying, “If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck”. This principle promotes flexibility and code reuse, as it allows objects of different types to be used interchangeably as long as they exhibit the expected behavior. Here’s an example of a duck typed function..

class Duck:

    def quack(self):

        print(“Quack! I am a duck.”)

class Goose:

    def quack(self):

        print(“Quack! I am a goose.”)

Here we define two classes, Duck and Goose, representing different types of birds. Both classes have a quack() method ...
