Polymorphism in Python
Learn about polymorphism in Python to understand how methods can be customized to behave differently based on the objects they operate on.
In object-oriented programming, polymorphism is a key concept which enables a function or object to take on different forms and act differently based on the context. Let's understand this with the following analogy.
Suppose a person is a teacher, a coach, and a parent. Even though it's the same person, they will act differently based on the role they have assumed at a particular time. As a teacher they educate students on some subject, as a coach they might coach a sports team in the evening, and as a Parent they will take care of their children and maybe help with the homework.
Polymorphism enhances code flexibility and reusability.
