Object-Oriented Programming Terminology

noun a class that is a subset of a larger class or category

• In object-oriented programming, a subclass inherits properties and behaviors from a superclass.
• The subclass of this particular model has some additional features.
• I'm in the subclass of people who prefer tea over coffee.
• The new team is considered a subclass of the original group, bringing fresh perspectives.

noun the quality or state of existing in or assuming different forms

• Polymorphism is a key concept in object-oriented programming where objects can take on different forms based on their class.
• In programming, polymorphism allows you to write code that can work with objects of different types without knowing their specific class.
• Polymorphism is like having a Swiss Army knife in programming - one tool that can handle multiple tasks.
• Just like how a chameleon changes its color to adapt to its environment, polymorphism allows objects to change their behavior based on their class.
