QuestionAnswer
What does polymorphism stimulate? Polymorphism stimulates code reuse.
What does polymorphism allow? Polymorphism allows one object to act as either one of its superclasses, or as an interface that it implements.
Define the relation between subclass and class. A subclass (more specific) “is-a” superclass (more general) object.
Explain the meaning of "Polymorphism is unidirectional". More specific objects can only polymorphically act as more general objects.
Explain how interfaces are used in relation with polymorphism. By implementing an interface, an object is declaring it has the functionality defined in the interface. This allows that object to polymorphically act as the interface.
What is programming to an interface? Programming to an interface is the concept where the developer defines the required functionality instead of defining strict object data types.
What does programming to an interface allow? Programming to an interface allows other developers to interact with the code using any object they choose as long as it implements the required interfaces.
What is an object interchangeable with, and what characteristic related to casting does this have? An object can be used interchangeably with any of its superclasses and with any interface it implements, without the need to be cast.
What is the consequence of using a more specific object polymorphically as a general one? When a more specific object is polymorphically used as a general object, the more specific functionality is not available.
In with context is, as an example, polymorphism commonly used? Polymorphism is commonly used for method arguments.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
