OOP Assignment: Inheritance and Polymorphism

📝 Objective:

To understand and explain the core principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)


with a focus on Inheritance and Polymorphism, along with supporting concepts like
Encapsulation and Abstraction.

💡 Core OOP Principles:

🔷 Inheritance:

Inheritance allows one class to acquire properties and methods of another class, enabling
code reusability.

Types of Inheritance:

 Single Inheritance: One subclass inherits from one superclass.


 Multilevel Inheritance: A class inherits from a class which in turn inherits from
another class.
 Hierarchical Inheritance: Multiple subclasses inherit from a single superclass.

class Animal {
void sound() {
System.out.println("Animal makes sound");
}
}

class Dog extends Animal {


void sound() {
System.out.println("Dog barks");
}
}

🔷 Polymorphism:

Polymorphism means "many forms", allowing the same method to behave differently
based on the context.

Types of Polymorphism:

 Compile-time (Method Overloading): Same method name with different


parameters.
class MathOperations {
int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}

double add(double a, double b) {


return a + b;
}
}

 Run-time (Method Overriding): Subclass provides specific implementation for


a method declared in the superclass.

class Animal {
void sound() {
System.out.println("Generic animal sound");
}
}

class Cat extends Animal {


void sound() {
System.out.println("Cat meows");
}
}

🔷 Encapsulation:

Encapsulation binds data and code into a single unit, and restricts access using private
variables with getters/setters.

class Student {
private int age;

public void setAge(int age) {


this.age = age;
}

public int getAge() {


return age;
}
}

🔷 Abstraction:

Abstraction hides internal implementation and only shows essential features to the user.
Achieved via abstract classes or interfaces.

abstract class Shape {


abstract void draw();
}
class Circle extends Shape {
void draw() {
System.out.println("Drawing a circle");
}
}

✅ Conclusion:

Understanding Inheritance and Polymorphism is vital for building scalable and


maintainable applications. OOP enhances software development by promoting reuse,
flexibility, and clarity.
