What is polymorphism in Java PDF?

Polymorphism in Java is a concept by which we can perform a single action in different ways . Polymorphism is derived from 2 Greek words: poly and morphs. The word “poly” means many and “morphs” means forms. So polymorphism means many forms.

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.

Types of Polymorphism in Oops In Object-Oriented Programming (OOPS) language, there are two types of polymorphism as below: Static Binding (or Compile time) Polymorphism , e.g., Method Overloading. Dynamic Binding (or Runtime) Polymorphism, e.g., Method overriding.
