Polymorphism with an example?..

Answer / bilal dooply

Polymorphism is a property in which a single object can have more than 1 form.

Example [Code in VB.NET]:

Class Animals
'Walk() is declared Overridable

Overridable Public Sub Walk()
Console.Writeline ("Walking")
End Sub
End Class

Class Dog
Inherits Animals
'Let us make Dog is walking

'Walk() is overriding Walk() in its base class (Animals)

Overrides Public Sub Walk()
Console.Writeline ("Walking")
'Important: As you expect, any call to Walk() inside this class
'will invoke the Walk() in this class. If you need to
'call Walk() in base class, you can use MyBase keyword.
'Like this

'Mybase.Speak()

End Sub
End Class

Class MainClass
'Our main function

Shared Sub Main()
'Let us define Tommy as a Animal (base class)

Dim Tommy as Animals
'Now, I am assiging an Indian (derived class)

Tommy = new Dogs
'The above assignment is legal, because

'Dogs IS_A Animals.

'Now, let me call Walk as

Tommy.Walk()
'Which Walk() will work? The Walk() in Dogs, or the

'Walk() in Animals?

'The question arises because, Tommy is declared as a Animals,

'but an object of type Dogs is assigned to Tommy.

'The Answer is, the Walk() in Dogs will work. This is because,

'most object oriented languages like Vb.net can automatically

'detect the type of the object assigned to a base class variable.

'This is called Polymorphism

End Sub
End Class

Polymorphism with an example?..

Answer / rajdeep gupta

to call the overloaded function via object is known as
polymorphism.There are two types of polymorphism
1-Dynamic polymorphism
2-static polymorphism

static polymorphism(early binding)

there in only one class is sufficient to call the overloaded
function.it is predefine that which function want to be call.
that means the linking between function call and object is
resolved at compile time is known as static polymorphism.

dynamic polymorphism(late binding)
class model should be based on inheritance model.virtual
function is used for it.
that means the linking between function call and object is
resolved at run time is known as dynamic polymorphism.
