Lecture 9

This document covers Object-Oriented Programming concepts in Java, focusing on polymorphism, which allows a single action to be performed in different ways through method overloading and overriding. It explains compile-time polymorphism (static) achieved via function overloading and runtime polymorphism (dynamic) through method overriding. Examples illustrate how these concepts are implemented in Java, emphasizing the rules and structure required for method overriding.

• Polymorphism
• Overriding
• Overloading
Polymorphism
• Polymorphism is considered one of the
important features of Object-Oriented
Programming.
• Polymorphism allows us to perform a single
action in different ways. In other words,
polymorphism allows you to define one
interface and have multiple implementations.
• The word “poly” means many and “morphs”
means forms, So it means many forms.
Types of Java Polymorphism
In Java Polymorphism is mainly divided into two
types
 Compile-time Polymorphism
 Runtime Polymorphism
Compile-Time Polymorphism in Java
It is also known as static polymorphism. This
type of polymorphism is achieved by function
overloading or operator overloading.
Note: Java doesn’t support the Operator
Overloading.
Method Overloading
When there are multiple functions with the
same name but different parameters then these
functions are said to be overloaded.
Functions can be overloaded by changes in the
number of arguments or/and a change in the
type of arguments.
class Overloading{
// Method with 2 integer parameters
static int Multiply(int a, int b)
{
// Returns product of integer numbers
return a * b;
}
// Method 2
// With same name but with 2 double parameters
static double Multiply(double a, double b)
{
// Returns product of double numbers
return a * b;
}
}
Java Method Overloading

class OverloadingExample
{
static int add(int a,int b)
{
return a+b;
}
static int add(int a,int b,int c)
{
return a+b+c;
}
}
Runtime Polymorphism
It is also known as Dynamic Method Dispatch. It
is a process in which a function call to the
overridden method is resolved at Runtime. This
type of polymorphism is achieved by Method
Overriding.
Method Overriding in Java
• If subclass (child class) has the same method
as declared in the parent class, it is known
as method overriding in java.
• Method overriding is used to provide specific
implementation of a method that is already
provided by its super class.
• Method overriding is used for runtime
polymorphism.
Rules for Java Method Overriding
• method must have same name as in the
parent class
• method must have same parameter as in the
parent class.
• must be IS-A relationship (inheritance).
class Vehicle{
void run()
{System.out.println("Vehicle is running");}
}
class Bike extends Vehicle{ void run()
{System.out.println(“Bike is running");}

public static void main(String args[]){


Bike obj = new Bike();
obj.run();
}
}
