What is Polymorphism?

Polymorphism is a fundamental concept in OOP that allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass. It enables the same method to behave differently based on the object that invokes it.

  • Definition: "Many forms" - the ability of different objects to respond uniquely to the same method call.
  • Purpose: Enhances flexibility and integration of code by allowing interchangeable objects.

Let's see how polymorphism works in Python!
