C# Polymorphism
Last modified: July 11, 2021Polymorphism also known as "many forms", and it occurs when we have many C# classes inherit to each other.
We first create the Shape Base class and create derived class Square. We create a virtual method called the Draw method in the Shape class so that derived classes can inherit it.
In the derived class, we simply override the method.
public class Shape
{
public virtual void Draw()
{
Console.WriteLine("Draw a Shape");
}
}
public class Square: Shape
{
public override void Draw()
{
Console.WriteLine("Draw a Square");
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Shape myShape = new Shape();
myShape.Draw(); //output Draw a Shape
Square mySquare = new Square();
mySquare.Draw(); //output Draw a Square
}
}
