Implementing Polymorphism Using Inheritance
Explore how to implement polymorphism in Python by overriding inherited methods in derived classes. Understand this OOP concept through examples with Shape, Rectangle, and Circle classes, and see how polymorphism allows different behaviors for the same method across class hierarchies.

We can add new data and methods to a class through inheritance. But what if we want our derived class to inherit a method from the base class and have a different implementation for it? That is when polymorphism, a fundamental concept in the OOP paradigm, comes into play.
Example
Consider the example of a Shape class, which is the base class while many shapes like Rectangle and Circle extending from the base ...
Rectangle and circle inherit from shape
