Tag: What is a polymorphism Java?

Polymorphism means “many forms “, and it occurs when we have many classes that are related to each other by inheritance. Like we specified in the previous chapter; Inheritance lets us inherit attributes and methods from another class. Polymorphism uses those methods to perform different tasks.

So polymorphism means many forms. There are two types of polymorphism in Java: compile-time polymorphism and runtime polymorphism . We can perform polymorphism in java by method overloading and method overriding. If you overload a static method in Java, it is the example of compile time polymorphism.

Real-life Illustration: Polymorphism Like a man at the same time is a father, a husband, an employee . So the same person possesses different behavior in different situations. This is called polymorphism.14 Ara 2021
