+""" When I played computer, I predicted that Child would inherit get_name() from Parent, so person1.get_name() should work exactly like in Parent, while person1.get_full_name() would only exist on Child and add extra detail after a last-name change. Running the code confirmed this: before changing the name, both methods show “Elizaveta Alekseeva”, and after change_last_name("Tyurina"), get_full_name() includes the maiden-name suffix (née Alekseeva). For person2 (a Parent), only get_name() is available, which shows that inheritance gives Child all parent behavior plus additional child-specific methods, but not the other way around. """
