Polymorphism

Polymorphism contains two words “poly” and “morphs”. Poly means many, and morph means shape. By polymorphism, we understand that one task can be performed in different ways. For example — you have a class animal, and all animals speak. But they speak differently. Here, the “speak” behavior is polymorphic in a sense and depends on the animal. So, the abstract “animal” concept does not actually “speak”, but specific animals (like dogs and cats) have a concrete implementation of the action “speak”.

polymorphism

class Cat:
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

    def info(self):
        print(f"I am a cat. My name is {self.name}. I am {self.age} years old.")

    def make_sound(self):
        print("Meow")


class Dog:
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

    def info(self):
        print(f"I am a dog. My name is {self.name}. I am {self.age} years old.")

    def make_sound(self):
        print("Bark")


cat1 = Cat("Kitty", 2.5)
dog1 = Dog("Fluffy", 4)

for animal in (cat1, dog1):
    animal.make_sound()
    animal.info()
    animal.make_sound()

And the output is:

Meow
I am a cat. My name is Kitty. I am 2.5 years old.
Meow
Bark
I am a dog. My name is Fluffy. I am 4 years old.
Bark

Method Overriding

from math import pi


class Shape:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

    def area(self):
        pass

    def fact(self):
        return "I am a two-dimensional shape."

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name


class Square(Shape):
    def __init__(self, length):
        super().__init__("Square")
        self.length = length

    def area(self):
        return self.length**2

    def fact(self):
        return "Squares have each angle equal to 90 degrees."

And the output is:

Circle
I am a two-dimensional shape.
Squares have each angle equal to 90 degrees.
