POLYMORPHISM WHAT IS POLYMORPHISM: Polymorphism in OOP is the ability of an object, variable, or method to take on multiple forms, allowing a single interface to represent different underlying types. It enables objects of different classes to be treated as instances of a common superclass, enhancing flexibility, reusability, and code maintenance. KEY TYPES OF POLYMORPHISM: 1) Compile-time Polymorphism (Static Binding): Resolved during compilation, primarily through method overloading (multiple methods with the same name but different parameters). 2) Runtime Polymorphism (Dynamic Binding): Resolved during execution, primarily through method overriding (a subclass provides a specific implementation of a method defined in its parent class). KEY CONCEPTS: Method Overloading: Same method name, differen...
