Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 11, Problem 3SA
Explanation of Solution
Polymorphism:
In Python, one of the features of object-oriented concept is “polymorphism” and it refers an object’s capability to take different forms.
- • It allows the subclass that may contain methods having same name as the method in its superclass.
- • A program can call the correct method using the type of an object that may use to call it.
Method overridden:
In Python, if a subclass contains a method having the same name as the method in its superclass, then it is referred as “method overridden”.
Example:
Consider the following example for method over-riding:
#Base class "Student"
class Student(object):
# class constructor
def __init__(self, s_name):
#Initialize student name
self.s_name = s_name
# To get student name
def getname(self):
#Return student name
return self...
