    Study Notes

    Polymorphism

    • Polymorphism comes from the Greek words "POLY" and "MORPHISM", meaning "many forms".
    • It is an important feature in Python that allows defining methods in a child class with the same name as in their parent class.

    Types of Polymorphism

    • There are two types of Polymorphism:
      • Method Overloading
      • Method Overriding

    Method Overloading

    • Defining multiple methods in the same scope (usually in the same class) with the same name but different signatures (number or type of parameters).
    • Purpose: To allow different ways to call a method with different parameters.
    • Characteristics:
      • Must have the same method name but different parameters.
      • Does not require inheritance.
      • Usually within the same class.

    Method Overriding

    • Subclass provides a specific implementation of a method already defined in its superclass.
    • Purpose: To change or extend the behavior of an inherited method.
    • Characteristics:
      • Must have the same name and parameters as the method in the superclass.
      • Requires a class hierarchy (inheritance).
