  • Q8. What is polymorphism
  • Ans. 

    Polymorphism is the ability of an object to take on many forms.

    • It allows objects of different classes to be treated as if they were objects of the same class.

    • It is achieved through method overriding and method overloading.

  • Q9. What is abstraction? Explain with example
  • Ans. 

    Abstraction is the process of hiding complex implementation details and exposing only the necessary information.
