32. What is multiple inheritance?
A subclass is derived from more than one super class
33. What is polymorphism?
Polymorphism is defined as the ability of an object to take multiple forms depending on their type or class. The best example of Polymorphism is, invoking derived class methods through a base class reference at run-time.
34. Describe method overloading with example?
Java allows to define several methods with same name within a class, but with different method signature. Methods are identified with the parameters set based on:
- the number of parameters
- types of parameters and
- order of parameters.
Example of Method overloading is as given below.
int sum(int a,int b) { return a+b;}
int sum(int a,int b,int c) { return a+b+c;}
float sum(float a, float b, float c) { return a+b+c;}
35. How to identify starting method of a program ?
