Module 11

Question 1

A concept in object-oriented programming that allows objects of different classes to be used interchangeably, while still maintaining their own unique behavior.

Answer 1

Polymorphism

Question 2

Means “many”

Answer 2

Poly

Question 3

Means “Take different forms”

Answer 3

Morph

Question 4

Also known as compile-time polymorphism, refers to the ability of the compiler to determine which method to call at compile time based on the arguments passed to the method.

Achieved through method overloading, where multiple methods in the same class have the same name but different parameters.

Answer 4

Static polymorphism

Question 5

Also known as runtime polymorphism, refers to the ability of objects to respond to the same message with the appropriate method based on their class definition at runtime.

Achieved through method overriding, where a subclass provides a different implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass.

Answer 5

Dynamic polymorphism

Question 6

Allows to use many methods with the same name but differing signatures and return types.

Answer 6

Compile Time

Question 7

Associated with different classes, but it allows to use the same method with different signature names.

Answer 7

Runtime

Question 8

The process of associating a method or function call with its implementation at runtime.

Answer 8

Binding

Question 9

There are two types of binding in Java:

Answer 9

Static binding and Dynamic binding

Question 10

Occurs when the method to be called is determined at compile time.

This binding is also known as early binding because it takes place before the program actually runs.

Answer 10

Static Binding

Question 11

Also known as late binding or runtime binding, occurs when the method to be called is determined at runtime.

Dynamic binding is also called late binding or runtime binding because binding occurs during runtime.

Answer 11

Dynamic Binding
