Can you explain polymorphism in simple terms?
Sure! Polymorphism is a concept in programming that allows objects to be treated as instances of their parent class. It means 'many shapes'.
Can you give me an example of polymorphism?
Of course! Imagine you have a class called 'Animal' with a method 'speak'. Both 'Dog' and 'Cat' classes can inherit from 'Animal' and implement 'speak' differently.
So, if I call 'speak' on an Animal object, it can behave like a Dog or a Cat?
Exactly! When you call 'speak' on an Animal reference, it will execute the method defined in the specific subclass, either Dog or Cat.
That makes sense! Is polymorphism only used in object-oriented programming?
Polymorphism is primarily associated with object-oriented programming, but similar concepts can be found in other programming paradigms as well.
