Explain the concept of polymorphism in object-oriented programming.

Hey Tim

To answer your question, Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass, enabling methods to be called based on the actual object type. It lets us use different objects in a similar way by grouping them under a main category. Even though they’re grouped together, each object retains its special functions. So, when we ask an object to perform an action, it chooses the right function based on the type of object. This makes our code flexible, neat, and easy to maintain, leading to better software overall.
