Java Python OOP

The document provides a comprehensive guide to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts in Java and Python, focusing on method overriding and operator overloading. In Java, method overriding is demonstrated with an example of a Dog class extending an Animal class, while Python showcases both method overriding and operator overloading using magic methods. The document highlights that Java does not support user-defined operator overloading, unlike Python.

OOP in Java & Python

A Comprehensive Guide to Polymorphism & OOP Concepts

1. Object-Oriented Programming in Java

Method Overriding

In Java, overriding is used to provide the specific implementation of a method which is


already provided by its superclass. It is performed at runtime.

class Animal {
void sound() { [Link]("Animal makes a sound"); }
}

class Dog extends Animal {


@Override
void sound() { [Link]("Dog barks"); }
}

Note: Java does NOT support user-defined Operator Overloading (except for the + operator
with Strings).

2. Object-Oriented Programming in Python

Method Overriding

Python naturally supports overriding. If a method is defined in the subclass with the same
name as in the superclass, the subclass method replaces it.

class Parent:
def greet(self):
print("Hello from Parent")

class Child(Parent):
def greet(self):
print("Hello from Child")

Operator Overloading in Python

Python supports operator overloading through special "magic methods" or "dunder


methods" (e.g., __add__ , __sub__ ).

class Point:
def __init__(self, x):
self.x = x
def __add__(self, other):
return Point(self.x + other.x)
