The Art of Polymorphism in Java

 

Polymorphism 


The word polymorphism when taken separately as “Poly” and “morphs” means many and forms. Simply polymorphism means many forms. In Java Polymorphism is the ability of objects to take different forms depending on the specific types or context in which they are used.  This can simply be called the ability of an object to take multiple forms. Super level inheritance is used for polymorphism.

Example-:

Types of Polymorphism

Polymorphism in Java can be categorized into two types.

Compile-time Polymorphism & Runtime Polymorphism

Compile- time Polymorphism also known as method overloading. Runtime Polymorphism also known as method overriding. You can get a better understanding of method overloading and method overriding click the link below and read my blog post .

Difference Between Compile-time Polymorphism & Runtime Polymorphism

why important polymorphism in java💁

·        Easy to maintain and understand.  

·        Being able to add new functionality to existing classes without breaking the existing code that uses the base class.

·        That we can write generic code that can work with different types of objects without changing the code for each specific type.

  Unveiling the Trinity of Standards, Objects, and Classes   Ever wondered what makes Java the superhero of programming languages? Well, it's not just about writing lines of code; it's about mastering the ABCs of Java: Standards, Objects, and Classes. 01.Standard In Java, "standard" typically refers to the Java Standard Edition (SE), which is one of the three major editions of the Java platform, alongside Java Enterprise Edition (EE) and Java Micro Edition (ME). Java SE provides the core functionality and libraries that constitute the foundation for Java development.   The Main Features   of Java Standard Edition (SE) include: 1.1.Core Libraries-:  Java SE includes a comprehensive set of core libraries that offer essential functionalities such as data structures,input/output operations, networking, and utilities. These libraries provide reusable components that simplify common programming tasks. 1.2. Platform Independence-:  One of Java's key fe...

A Guide to Object Generating, Data Types, Parameters and Arguments

Image
  A Guide to Object Generating, Data Types, Parameters and Arguments In Java programming, Object Generation involves creating objects based on classes, shaping the structure of the code. Data Types define the nature of values – numbers, words, or complex structures – ensuring accuracy and efficiency. Parameters act as instructions for functions, and Arguments are the actual values that bring these instructions to life, making code adaptable and powerful. 01.Object Generating In Java, "object generation" refers to the creation of objects, which are instances of classes in the Java programming language. Class  In Java, a class is like a blueprint or template that describes how to create objects. It defines the properties (data) and behaviors (methods) that objects of that type will have. Object  An object is an instance of a class. It's like a specific copy created based on the blueprint provided by the class. Objects have their own set of data and can perform act...

Getting Started with Design Patterns - Part 1

Image
   Design Patterns Part 1 of the Series 🚀 Let’s explore design patterns in a way that’s easy for beginners to understand! Design patterns are like tried-and-true recipes for solving common programming challenges. They help you write better, cleaner, and more efficient code. If you’re new to the concept, don’t worry – this guide will walk you through the basics step by step🎯. Let’s get started! Introduction🙋 The term design patterns is common in discussions about best practices for solving problems efficiently during software development. But really, what are design patterns? Simply explained, a design pattern represents a known solution for a frequently occurring problem in software design. They describe standardized ways to tackle recurring problems with ease and give robust codebases. The importance of the design patterns comes in that it encapsulates combined experience coming from generations of experienced developers. A design pattern allows you easily to writ...
