Understanding Polymorphism in Python

Polymorphism in Python allows the same function to behave differently based on the object, enabling one interface to be used for various data types. It increases flexibility and reusability through concepts like method overriding and duck typing. Key takeaways include that Python supports polymorphism, which makes code more scalable and clean.

Polymorphism in Python

• Polymorphism allows the same function to


behave differently based on the object.
What is Polymorphism?
• Polymorphism enables one interface to be
used for different data types.

• ✔ Same method name, different behavior


• ✔ Increases flexibility and reusability
Diagram: Polymorphism Concept
• Animal
• |
• |---- Dog (sound())
• |---- Cat (sound())
Duck Typing Example
• class Duck:
• def sound(self):
• return 'Quack'

• class Human:
• def sound(self):
• return 'Hello'

• for obj in (Duck(), Human()):


Runtime Polymorphism (Method
Overriding)
• class Vehicle:
• def speed(self):
• print('Average speed')

• class Car(Vehicle):
• def speed(self):
• print('Car speed: 120km/h')

• Vehicle().speed()
Key Takeaways
• - One interface, multiple implementations
• - Python supports polymorphism through duck
typing & inheritance
• - Makes code scalable and clean
