👉 In software engineering, autotypy refers to a concept where an object is considered as an instance of another object. This means that each instance of an autotypic class has the same properties and methods as the original class. For example: ```python class Animal: def __init__(self): self.name = "Animal" class Dog(Animal): def __init__(self, name: str): super().__init__() self.name = name animal = Animal()
