2. Polymorphism  Example in Biology: –Different ‘forms’, same species Adapted and adopted from Deitel (2004), IBM (2004), Liang (2007), Oracle (2012), and Wikipedia Light-morph jaguar Dark-morph or black or melanistic jaguar

3. Polymorphism  Example in Biology: –Different ‘forms’ between males and females of the same species Adapted and adopted from Deitel (2004), IBM (2004), Liang (2007), Oracle (2012), and Wikipedia

4. Polymorphism  In Java OOP: –Subclasses of a class can define their own unique behaviors and yet share some of the same functionality of the parent class. Adapted and adopted from Deitel (2004), IBM (2004), Liang (2007), Oracle (2012), and Wikipedia

5. Polymorphism public class CylinderDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { Shape shape; shape = new Shape(); System.out.println("Area of current shape: " + shape.getArea()); shape = null; shape = new Circle(10); System.out.println("Area of current shape: " + shape.getArea()); shape = null; shape = new Cylinder(11, 21); System.out.println(" Area of current shape: " + shape.getArea()); shape = null; } Adapted and adopted from Deitel (2004), IBM (2004), Liang (2007), Oracle (2012), and Wikipedia
