Question

What is polymorphism? Is there an example of this somewhere in a project we have coded?

Answer 1

Polymorphism lets you pass in a general type for a class that extends a broader type. An example from one of our projects would be:
ChatBot c = new DogBot()
which allows you to use ChatBot as a parameter for a method (or something like that) but have the individual objects be of specific bot types.

Answer 2

I guess Interfaces give a good example of polymorphism at use. Basically when you use the interface type in any method or field you can pass in an object of any class that implements that interface, just like the example Amy gave.

Answer 3

Polymorphism is an object-oriented programming concept where a single interface can represent different underlying forms (e.g., methods behaving differently based on the object they belong to). In your HighLowGUI game, the Card class could demonstrate polymorphism if a getValue() method behaves differently for various card types.
