    Study Notes

    Polymorphism in Java

    • Polymorphism allows a single action to be implemented in various ways.
    • Originates from Greek words "poly" (many) and "morphs" (forms), indicating multiple forms of a concept.

    Types of Polymorphism

    • Compile-time Polymorphism: Achieved through method overloading. Occurs when multiple methods have the same name but different parameters within a class.
    • Runtime Polymorphism: Known as Dynamic Method Dispatch, where method calls to overridden methods are resolved during runtime, rather than compile time.

    Method Overloading vs. Method Overriding

    • Method Overloading: Demonstrates compile-time polymorphism, allowing methods with the same name but different signatures within the same class.
    • Method Overriding: Involves redefining a method from a superclass in its subclass, key to achieving runtime polymorphism.
