Polymorphism.md

Definition

• Polymorphism is a made up of two words Poly which means Many and Morph which means Forms.

• Multiple classes with the same method but with different implementation.

• Implement many different implementations of the same method.

• Classes have different functionality but they share common interference.

• in Ruby, it means being able to send the same message to different objects and get different results.

Let’s look at a few different ways to achieve this.

Implement polymorphism

We can implement polymorphism using :

1. Polymorphism using Inheritance

2. Polymorphism using Duck-Typing
