• Polymorphism in Java is a concept in different ways we can perform a single action.<\/li>\n
• Poly and morphs. The word “poly” means many and “morphs” means forms. Many forms are known as polymorphism.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

  • There are two types of polymorphism in Java:\n
    \n
    • Compile-Time Polymorphism and<\/li>\n
    • Runtime Polymorphism.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      • Polymorphism in java we can perform by method overloading and method overriding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Dynamic Method Dispatch or Runtime Polymorphism in Java<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        \n

        \n
        • Java supports Runtime Polymorphism is one of the ways is method overriding<\/li>\n
        • A call to an overridden method is resolved at run time, rather than compile time it is called as dynamic method dispatch mechanism.<\/li>\n
        • At run-time, it depends on the type of the object being referred that determines which version of an overridden method will be executed.<\/li>\n
        • A subclass object refers by a superclass variable. This is also known as upcasting. Java uses this statistic to resolve calls to overridden methods at run time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
