Implementing Polymorphism Using Duck Typing

Explore how duck typing allows you to implement polymorphism in Python by using any object that supports the required methods, regardless of its class. Understand dynamic typing and see examples to grasp how behavior-based programming helps write flexible and modular code.

Duck typing is one of the most useful concepts in object-oriented programming in Python. Using duck typing, we can implement polymorphism without using inheritance.

What is duck typing?

We say that if an object quacks like a duck, swims like a duck, eats like a duck or in short, acts like a duck, that object is a duck.
