Polymorphism in Python Explained

🚀 Day 16 of Python Learning: Polymorphism in Python Today I learned about Polymorphism in Python — an important Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concept where the same method name can behave differently for different objects. 🔹 What is Polymorphism? Polymorphism means "many forms." It allows one interface or method name to perform different actions based on the object. 🔸 Method Overriding Example class Animal: def sound(self): print("Animal makes sound") class Dog(Animal): def sound(self): print("Dog barks") class Cat(Animal): def sound(self): print("Cat meows") dog = Dog() cat = Cat() dog.sound() cat.sound() 🔸 Built-in Polymorphism Example print(len("Python")) print(len([1, 2, 3, 4])) 💡 Key Learning: The same method can behave differently depending on which object is calling it. 🧪 Practice Task: ✔ Create Shape class ✔ Create Circle and Rectangle classes ✔ Add area() method in both classes ✔ Call same method with different outputs 🎯 Interview Question: What is the difference between inheritance and polymorphism? Answer: Inheritance is used to reuse code from parent class, while polymorphism allows the same method name to perform different behaviors. 📌 Day 16 completed — understanding smarter OOP concepts! #Python #Learning #CodingJourney #Day16 #Programming #SDET #100DaysOfCode Masai #dailylearning #masaiverse
