Polymorphism

Polymorphism is the ability to process objects differently on the basis of their class and data types . There are two types of polymorphism in Java: compile time polymorphism and run time polymorphism in java. This java polymorphism is also referred to as static polymorphisms and dynamic polymorphisms.

Polymorphism allows us to perform a single action in different ways . In other words, polymorphism allows you to define one interface and have multiple implementations. The word “poly” means many and “morphs” means forms, So it means many forms.14 Ara 2021

Polymorphism is one of the OOPs feature that allows us to perform a single action in different ways . For example, lets say we have a class Animal that has a method sound() . Since this is a generic class so we can’t give it a implementation like: Roar, Meow, Oink etc. We had to give a generic message.

Ad-hoc, Inclusion, Parametric & Coercion Polymorphisms

In simple words, we can define polymorphism as the ability of a message to be displayed in more than one form . A real-life example of polymorphism, a person at the same time can have different characteristics. Like a man at the same time is a father, a husband, an employee.
