Polymorphism & Virtual Methods

Explore how polymorphism allows C# classes to take multiple forms through inheritance and method overriding. Understand virtual methods and how they enable derived classes to provide their own implementations, enhancing code flexibility and reuse. This lesson helps you grasp key OOP concepts to write adaptable C# programs.

Polymorphism Definition

The term Polymorphism means the ability to take many forms. It occurs if there is a hierarchy of classes which are all related to each other by inheritance.

Subtyping

Subtyping is a form of polymorphism in which another class inherits from a base class to generalize a similar behavior.

You basically have a method inherited from base class but it is implemented differently in the child ...
