• Java interview questions and answers

💡 Polymorphism is one of the core OOPs concepts used heavily in Java development and interviews.

📌 What is Polymorphism?

Polymorphism means "many forms". In Java, one method can perform different tasks depending on the object or parameters.

Polymorphism improves:

• Code flexibility
• Code reusability
• Application scalability
• Maintainability

⚙️ Types of Polymorphism in Java

• Compile-Time Polymorphism (Method Overloading)
• Run-Time Polymorphism (Method Overriding)

🛠️ Method Overloading Example

Method overloading happens when multiple methods have the same name but different parameters.

class Calculator {

    int add(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }

    int add(int a, int b, int c) {
        return a + b + c;
    }
}

public class OverloadingDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Calculator c = new Calculator();

        System.out.println(c.add(10,20));

        System.out.println(c.add(10,20,30));
    }
}

🔄 Method Overriding Example

Method overriding happens when child class provides its own implementation of parent class method.

class Animal {

    void sound() {
        System.out.println("Animal makes sound");
    }
}

class Dog extends Animal {

    @Override
    void sound() {
        System.out.println("Dog barks");
    }
}

public class OverridingDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Dog d = new Dog();

        d.sound();
    }
}
