Definition of Polymorphism

Polymorphism is the ability of objects of different types or classes to respond to the same method call with methods of the same name but different implementations. Polymorphism simplifies code and provides flexibility by allowing the use of a common interface to interact with various objects. In programming, polymorphism can be achieved through:
Method overloading (compile-time polymorphism) — methods with the same name but different parameters.
Method overriding (runtime polymorphism) — methods in child classes that override the implementation of parent class methods.

Context of usage for Polymorphism

• 1. “Polymorphism allows invoking methods with the same name for objects of different classes.”
  2. “Thanks to polymorphism, the code becomes more flexible and easier to extend.”
  3. “In Java, method overloading allows defining multiple methods with the same name but different parameters.”
  4. “For instance, the methods calculate(int x) and calculate(int x, int y) are examples of method overloading.”
  5. “Method overriding in OOP enables a child class to provide its own implementation of a method defined in the parent class.”
  6. “In Python, method overriding is achieved by simply defining a method with the same name in the child class.”
  7. “Using interfaces enables polymorphism by providing a shared set of methods for different classes.”
  8. “For example, the Drawable interface can have a draw() method implemented in Circle and Rectangle classes.”
