Polymorphism in Java Presentation

Polymorphism in Java refers to the ability of an object to take many forms, allowing a single action to be performed in different ways. There are two main types: compile-time polymorphism (method overloading) and runtime polymorphism (method overriding). This concept enhances code reusability, flexibility, and maintainability in object-oriented programming.

Polymorphism in Java

Understanding the Core of Object-


Oriented Programming
Presented by: [Your Name]
What is Polymorphism?
• Definition:
• - Polymorphism in Java is the ability of an
object to take many forms.
• - Derived from Greek words: "poly" (many)
and "morph" (forms).
• Explanation:
• - In Object-Oriented Programming (OOP),
polymorphism allows us to perform a single
action in different ways.
• - Essential for writing flexible, reusable, and
Types of Polymorphism in Java
• Two Main Types:
• 1. Compile-time Polymorphism (Static
Binding): Achieved via Method Overloading.
• 2. Runtime Polymorphism (Dynamic Binding):
Achieved via Method Overriding.
Compile-time Polymorphism
(Method Overloading)
• Explanation:
• - Multiple methods in the same class with the
same name but different parameters.
• - Determined at compile time, hence called
"compile-time polymorphism".
• Example:
• class MathOperation {
• int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
• double add(double a, double b) { return a +
Runtime Polymorphism (Method
Overriding)
• Explanation:
• - Method overriding allows a subclass to
provide a specific implementation of a method
already defined in its superclass.
• - The method to be executed is determined at
runtime.
• Example:
• class Animal {
• void sound() { System.out.println("Animal
makes a sound"); }
Advantages of Polymorphism
• - Code Reusability
• - Flexibility
• - Maintainability
• - Extensibility
Polymorphism in Real-life
Scenarios
• - Payment Processing System
• - Graphic Applications
Key Points to Remember
• - Overloading vs. Overriding
• - Dynamic Binding
• - Inheritance Dependency
Java Interfaces and Polymorphism
• Interfaces allow multiple classes to implement
the same interface differently.
Practical Example of Polymorphism
• Scenario: Implementing draw() method in
different Shape classes like Circle, Rectangle.
Demo Code Example
• class Shape { void draw()
{ System.out.println("Drawing shape"); }}
• class Circle extends Shape { void draw()
{ System.out.println("Drawing circle"); }}
• public class TestPolymorphism { public static
void main(String[] args) {
• Shape s1 = new Circle(); s1.draw(); // Output:
Drawing circle } }
Summary
• - Polymorphism enables flexible and reusable
code
• - Compile-time: Method Overloading
• - Runtime: Method Overriding
