Introduction To Polymorphism

The document introduces polymorphism in object-oriented programming (OOP), explaining its definition, purpose, and types in C++. It details compile-time (static) and runtime (dynamic) polymorphism with examples of function overloading. Additionally, it includes an interactive activity and a homework assignment related to operator overloading and function overloading.

Introduction to Polymorphism

1. What is Polymorphism?
Polymorphism in OOP allows objects of different types to be treated as objects of a common base
type. It enables flexibility and reusability in code.

● Literal Meaning: “Many forms.”


● Purpose: Perform a single action in different ways.

2. Types of Polymorphism in C++

1. Compile-time (Static Polymorphism):


○ Achieved through function overloading and operator overloading.
2. Runtime (Dynamic Polymorphism):
○ Achieved through inheritance and virtual functions.

3. Syntax and Example: Function Overloading (Compile-time Polymorphism)

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class Calculator {

public:

int add(int a, int b) {

return a + b;

double add(double a, double b) {

return a + b;

};

int main() {

Calculator calc;

cout << "Integer Addition: " << calc.add(5, 3) << endl;

cout << "Double Addition: " << calc.add(2.5, 3.8) << endl;

return 0;

4. Interactive Activity:
Write a program to demonstrate operator overloading for the + operator.

5. Homework Assignment:
Write a program that demonstrates both function overloading and operator overloading.
