Polymorphism

2
Polymorphism
• Polymorphism in java is a concept
by which we can perform a single
action by different ways.
• More specifically, it is the ability to
redefine methods for derived
classes.
• We can perform polymorphism in
java by method overloading and
method overriding. 3
Overriding
• Declaring a method in sub-class which is already present in parent class
is known as method overriding.
• Redefine the method by keeping the same signature but rewriting the
body.
• The rules for overriding a method:
– method must have same name as in the parent class
– method must have same parameter as in the parent class.
4
– must be IS-A relationship (inheritance).
Overriding Example
• Boy class extends class Human{
Human class. public void eat() {
System.out.println("Human is eating");
• Both the classes have a
}
common method void
}
eat(). class Boy extends Human{
• Boy class is giving its public void eat(){
own implementation to System.out.println("Boy is eating");
the eat() method or in }
other words it is public static void main( String args[]) {
overriding the method Boy obj = new Boy();
eat(). obj.eat(); 5
}
}
Exercise
Bank is a class that provides functionality to get rate of interest. But, rate of interest
varies according to banks. For example, Bank, BOC, PeoplesBank and HNB banks
could provide 2.5, 8.2%, 7.9% and 7.3% Bank rate of interest. Find the Interest values
for the deposit amount for each bank.
Bank
deposit : int
+interestRate() : double

BOC HNB
PeoplesBank
6
+interestRate() : double +interestRate() : double
+interestRate() : double
Overloading and Overriding

• Overriding allows you to modify the behavior of an inherited method to


meet the specific needs of a subclass
• Overloading allows you to use the same method name to implement
different (but related) functionalities

class Animal{
void eat(){
System.out.println("eating..."); class TestPoly{
} } public static void main(String[] args){
class Dog extends Animal{
void eat(){ Animal a;
System.out.println("eating bread..."); a=new Dog();
} } a.eat();
class Cat extends Animal{ a=new Cat();
void eat(){ a.eat();
System.out.println("eating rat..."); a=new Lion();
} } a.eat();
class Lion extends Animal{ }
void eat(){ }
System.out.println("eating meat..."); 9

} }
