Hi there. Is it possible to do the "parent" extension in the Soda class on the getInfo() function as on __construction?

if we could "extend" the __construct method, surely we can do the same with the getInfo() method. How can we do that?

You can use "parent::getInfo();"

public function getInfo(){ return parent::getInfo() . "Flavor: " . $this->flavor; }

This would have outputted the same result.

you can just override the getinfo() method in the subclass.. i am not sure where the problem is?

Hello. Thanks for your answer. There isn't any problem. I was just curious whether you can use the "parent::getInfo()" the same way as with the __construct method. If you can avoid rewriting the constructor function with parent::, why not implement the same thing to other function? That it.
