What is polymorphism in programming

---------------------------
Things can change in programming - hence polymorphism!

THE ONLY ONE WHO IS CLEAR ENOUGH FOR MY GENIUS MONKEY BRAIN - THANK YOU

ok but you're missing the essence and you're kinda mixing stuff with inheritance here..
The basis of polym is not that you have multiple copies of your function in each type that inherits form Animal( that's inheritance), but rather that you have a method pet(Animal a) in another class, and any object of a type that inherits from class Animal will be suitable for that method. ( they key point here is that you can only have the class Animal and pet method and classes that are still not existent can comply to the pet's method signature by inheriting from Animal).

Polymorphism can be achieved through interfaces, abstract classes, or regular (concrete) classes, but the essence remains the same: treating objects of different types in a uniform way.

In the broader context, polymorphism is about writing code that can work with objects of different types in a unified manner. Whether you achieve this through interfaces, abstract classes, or regular classes with inheritance, the goal is to create more flexible and reusable code that can accommodate various types of objects without knowing their specific implementations.

Would be good to go into the other types of polymorphism, not just overloading

[JSamuel]

Thank you very much. I was having trouble with it until now.

Such a nice series - all of it, just top. Explanation, duration, your voice is so smooth.
Just amazing, thank you

[kittyissu]

So, overloading functions is a type of polymorphism ?

[oystar]

After watching this I clearly understand that concept.

[NewGroundBreaker]

I was already using it and didn't know what it meant, exactly. Tks for the video!

[hafsabatool]

I never wanted the video to end before for the first time I was getting something about polymorphism

[HaileeMiu]

Thanks a bunch. This is the perfect overview that I have been looking for! Now I get it at a high level.

[JamesJSwiftJay]

Extremely simplistic and helpful, thank you kind sir.

[MtnOrange]

simple and effective explanation. Thank you.

[ViceKnIghtTA]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU OMFG...WHY CANT EVERYONE EXPLAIN IT LIKE YOU!!!! SERIOUSLY I DOWN VOTED AND CRITIQUED EVERY SINGLE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE ABOUT THIS UNTIL I CAME TO YOURS THANK YOU 👍🙏🙏🙏🙏

[bambinot]

I didnt even know I was already doing polymorphism

[LOLcheeseORZ]

I wish I could give you 1000 likes lol. You made this so easy to understand!

[jossieyan]

NICE I'VE GOT LIKE ONE BRAINM CELL AND MY ASSIGNMENT IS DUE IN 8 HOURS AND I AM ON SO MUCH CAAAFINE

[pating]

hey man keep it up! your doing so good

[JordanVickers-nu]

Please talk faster. I watched your video in 2x speed and it was still way to slow. Great explanation tho.

[digitalchetan]

Polymorphism occurs at run time or debug time or compile time?

[illmatic]

Would it be safe to say this is like a case statement, logic never changes but argument is whatever you want it to be?
