C#-Polymorphism

---

C#-Polymorphism : The word polymorphism means “having many forms”.

Typically, polymorphism occurs when there is a hierarchy of classes and they are related through inheritance from a common base class.

C#-Polymorphism means that a call to a member method will cause a different implementation to be executed depending on the type of object that invokes the method.

Runtime C#-Polymorphism Example:

using System;
public class Animal{
    public virtual void eat(){
        Console.WriteLine("eating...");
    }
}
public class Dog: Animal
{
    public override void eat()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("eating bread...");
    }
    
}
public class TestPolymorphism
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Animal a= new Dog();
        a.eat();
    }
}

* )Runtime Polymorphism with Data Members:

Runtime Polymorphism can’t be achieved by data members in C#. Let’s see an example where we are accessing the field by reference variable which refers to the instance of derived class.

using System;
public class Animal{
    public string color = "white";

}
public class Dog: Animal
{
    public string color = "black";
}
public class TestSealed
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Animal d = new Dog();
        Console.WriteLine(d.color);
  
    }
}
