Polymorphism

Polymorphism means “many forms” (poly = many, morph = forms).
It is the ability of an object or method to take different forms and perform a single action in multiple ways.

In Java, polymorphism is categorized into two types:

1. Compile-time Polymorphism (also called Static Polymorphism)

2. Runtime Polymorphism (also called Dynamic Polymorphism)

Polymorphism in Java can be achieved through:

• Method Overloading → Used to implement compile-time polymorphism.
• Method Overriding → Used to implement runtime polymorphism.
