What is Polymorphism?
Polymorphism means many forms.
A single object can refer the super class or sub-class depending on the reference type which is called polymorphism.
Example:
1
Public class Manipulation(){ //Super class
2
public void add(){
3
}
4
}
5
public class Addition extends Manipulation(){ // Sub class
6
public void add(){
7
}
8
public static void main(String args[]){
9
Manipulation addition = new Addition();//Manipulation is reference type and Addition is reference type
10
addition.add();
11
}
12
}
Using Manipulation reference type we can call the Addition class “add()” method. This ability is known as Polymorphism.
Polymorphism is applicable for overriding and not for overloading.
