Polymorphism is a key concept in object-oriented programming that allows objects of different classes to respond uniquely to the same method call. It enhances code flexibility, adaptability, and reusability, making it easier to read and maintain. An example is where dog and cat classes override the speak method from a base animal class, demonstrating distinct implementations for the same message.

2. What is Polymorphism ?
Polymorphism is a concept in
object-oriented programming
where objects of different
classes can respond to the same
message (method call) in their
own unique way.

3. Why is Polymorphism important?
• Polymorphism makes your
code more flexible and
adaptable to changes. You can
add new classes without
affecting existing code.
• By using polymorphism, you
can create more generic and
reusable code.
• Polymorphic code is often
easier to read and maintain

4. Example of Polymorphism
• The code exemplifies polymorphism
as Dog and Cat override the speak
method from the base class Animal,
providing their unique
implementations.
• This allows objects of different types
to respond to the same message
(speak) in their own distinct way,
showcasing the core concept of
polymorphism. This flexibility BSIT 4
