Polymorphism in Python is the ability of an object to take many forms. In simple words, polymorphism allows us to perform the same action in many different ways.
For example, Jessa acts as an employee when she is at the office. However, when she is at home, she acts like a wife. Also, she represents herself differently in different places. Therefore, the same person takes different forms as per the situation.
Polymorphism with Function and Objects We can create polymorphism with a function that can take any object as a parameter and execute its method without checking its class type. Using this, we can call object actions using the same function instead of repeating method calls.
Polymorphism is mainly used with inheritance. In inheritance, child class inherits the attributes and methods of a parent class. The existing class is called a base class or parent class, and the new class is called a subclass or child class or derived class.
Using method overriding polymorphism allows us to defines methods in the child class that have the same name as the methods in the parent class. This process of re-implementing the inherited method in the child class is known as Method Overriding.
