3class Vehicle:
4    def move(self):
5        print("Vehicle is moving")
6

7class Car(Vehicle):
8    def wheels(self):
9        print("Car has 4 wheels")
10

11class SportsCar(Car):
12    def turbo(self):
13        print("Sports car has turbo mode")
14

15sc = SportsCar()
16sc.move()
17sc.wheels()
18sc.turbo()

Output

Vehicle is moving
Car has 4 wheels
Sports car has turbo mode

What's going on

SportsCar inherits from Car, which inherits from Vehicle, forming a multilevel hierarchy.
