In terms of Java, when someone asks:
what is polymorphism?
Would overloading or overriding be
import java.io.IOException;
class Super {
protected Super getClassName(Super s) throws IOException {
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName() + " - I'm parent");
return null;
}
}
class SubOne extends Super {
@Override
protected Super getClassName(Super s) {
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName() + " - I'm Perfect Overriding");
return null;
}
}
class SubTwo extends Super {
@Override
protected Super getClassName(Super s) throws NullPointerException {
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName() + " - I'm Overriding and Throwing Runtime Exception");
return null;
}
}
class SubThree extends Super {
@Override
protected SubThree getClassName(Super s) {
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName()+ " - I'm Overriding and Returning SubClass Type");
return null;
}
}
class SubFour extends Super {
@Override
protected Super getClassName(Super s) throws IOException {
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName()+ " - I'm Overriding and Throwing Narrower Exception ");
return null;
}
}
class SubFive extends Super {
@Override
public Super getClassName(Super s) {
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName()+ " - I'm Overriding and have broader Access ");
return null;
}
}
class SubSix extends Super {
public Super getClassName(Super s, String ol) {
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName()+ " - I'm Perfect Overloading ");
return null;
}
}
class SubSeven extends Super {
public Super getClassName(SubSeven s) {
System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName()+ " - I'm Perfect Overloading because Method signature (Argument) changed.");
return null;
}
}
public class Test{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Overriding\n");
Super s1 = new SubOne(); s1.getClassName(null);
Super s2 = new SubTwo(); s2.getClassName(null);
Super s3 = new SubThree(); s3.getClassName(null);
Super s4 = new SubFour(); s4.getClassName(null);
Super s5 = new SubFive(); s5.getClassName(null);
System.out.println("Overloading\n");
SubSix s6 = new SubSix(); s6.getClassName(null, null);
s6 = new SubSix(); s6.getClassName(null);
SubSeven s7 = new SubSeven(); s7.getClassName(s7);
s7 = new SubSeven(); s7.getClassName(new Super());
}
}
