Mapping Relationships in Java: Constructors & Polymorphism

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Runtime polymorphism involves variables of a base class containing objects of a derived class. Java uses dynamic binding to ensure that such variables are a powerful mechanism for writing clean, extensible, and correct code. This course takes you through the use of these advanced Java processes and mechanisms. Examine how constructors work with inheritance, including the order of constructor invocation, the role of base and derived class constructors, and the super keyword. Learn about runtime polymorphism and how this process of determining which implementation of a method to invoke at runtime is known as dynamic method dispatch. As you advance, use compile-time polymorphism in Java through method overloading. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid grasp of constructor invocation and both runtime and compile-time polymorphism in Java.
