Polymorphism - Assignment Hints

The document outlines two classroom assignments focused on demonstrating polymorphism in Java through method overloading and overriding. The first assignment involves creating a Java class with overloaded methods, while the second requires creating a superclass and subclass to illustrate method overriding. Both assignments aim to help students understand compile-time and runtime polymorphism in Java.

Classroom Assignment <2>: Demonstrating Polymorphism in Java

Learning Objective:

To understand and implement the concept of Overloading in Java by creating a class and implementing method with
different sets of input arguments.

Expected Completion Time:

Best Case: 20 minutes


Average Case: 25 minutes

Assignment Details:

Create a Java class and create two methods with the same name passing different input arguments.

Requirements:

- Create a Java class.


- Inside this class, define the reportStep method with multiple overloaded versions:
- One version should accept two input arguments: a String for the message (msg) and another String for the status
(status).
- Another version of the reportStep method should accept three input arguments: a String for the message (msg), a
String for the status (status), and a boolean parameter (snap) to indicate whether to take a snapshot.
- Create a main method to demonstrate the usage of the overloaded reportStep method.
- Call both versions of the reportStep method with different sets of input arguments to showcase method
overloading.

Hints to Solve:
- Include print statements inside each methods and pass input values
- Initialize objects and test the functionality by calling methods.

Reference Links:

Overloading in Java - Oracle Docs

Expected Outcome:
Upon completion, you should be able to:
- Grasp the fundamentals of method Overloading in Java.
- Understand the concept of compile time polymorphism
Demonstrating Overriding in Java

Learning Objective:

To understand and effectively utilize method overriding in Java to enable a subclass to provide a specific implementation
for a method defined in its superclass.

Assignment Details:

Create a Java class with a method and create a subclass that inherits from Super class and overrides the method
functionality.

Requirements:

- Create a superclass.
- Implement a method in the Super class.
- Create a subclass and Override that method in the sub class.
- Demonstrate the concept by creating objects for both classes and calling their methods.

Hints to Solve:

- Use appropriate keyword for inheritance.


- Use proper annotation before overriding in the sub class.
- Initialize objects and test the functionality by calling methods.

Reference Links:

Expected Outcome:

Upon completion, you should be able to:

- Grasp how method overriding facilitates polymorphism, enabling the selection of the appropriate method
implementation at runtime based on the object type.
