In this video, we will be discussing one of the most important concepts in object-oriented programming: polymorphism. We will start by defining what polymorphism is and why it is useful in C++. Then, we will cover the two main types of polymorphism in C++ - static polymorphism and dynamic polymorphism.
We will first discuss static polymorphism, also known as function overloading. We will show how you can define multiple functions with the same name but different parameters, allowing you to write more concise and reusable code.
Next, we will dive into dynamic polymorphism, also known as function overriding. We will discuss how to create a base class and derived classes, and how you can override functions in the derived classes to give them unique behavior. We will also cover the virtual keyword and how it plays a crucial role in dynamic polymorphism.
Finally, we will demonstrate how to use polymorphism in a real-world scenario. We will create a simple program that uses polymorphism to calculate the area of different shapes, including circles and squares.
By the end of this video, you will have a solid understanding of polymorphism in C++ and how to use it in your own programs. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced programmer, this video is for you!
