All rights reserved 9- Polymorphism The term polymorphism literally means "having many forms" A polymorphic reference is a variable that can refer to different types of objects at different points in time The method invoked through a polymorphic reference can change from one invocation to the next All object references in Java are potentially polymorphic © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved 9- Polymorphism Suppose we create the following reference variable: Occupation job; Java allows this reference to point to an Occupation object, or to any object of any compatible type This compatibility can be established using inheritance or using interfaces Careful use of polymorphic references can lead to elegant, robust software designs © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley.
