Polymorphic Array Example

This program demonstrates polymorphic arrays.

Problem Statement

Write a Java program to store multiple subclass objects in superclass array.

Source Code

1	class Animal {
2	void sound(){ System.out.println("Animal sound"); }
3	}
4	class Dog extends Animal {
5	void sound(){ System.out.println("Dog barks"); }
6	}
7	class Cat extends Animal {
8	void sound(){ System.out.println("Cat meows"); }
9	}
10	public class PolymorphicArray {
11	public static void main(String[] args) {
12	System.out.println("Eduinq Polymorphic Array");
13	Animal[] arr={new Dog(),new Cat()};
14	for(Animal a:arr) a.sound();
15	}
16	}

Program Output

Eduinq Polymorphic Array
Dog barks
Cat meows

Explanation

Superclass array holds subclass objects. - Each object executes its overridden method. - This demonstrates polymorphism in arrays, enabling flexible storage and iteration. Conclusion: Shows how to use polymorphic arrays.
