Polymorphic and non Polymorphic
Oct 28 2012 9:11 AM
This example is given in the following website http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Forums/Thread/156771/. It is said that "
override
is polymorphic but
new
is not".
When we use
new
keyword the output is:
/*
Student Megan has 15 credits
Student Luke has 15 credits
Student
*/
When we use
override
keyword the output is:
/*
Student Megan has 15 credits
Student Luke has 15 credits
Student Megan has 15 credits
*/
The word polymorphism means "many forms". Here
new
and
override
taking many forms. How can be said that
override
is polymorphic but
new
is not. Problem is highlighted.
using System;
class DemoStudents4
{
public static void Main()
{
Student payingStudent = new Student();
ScholarshipStudent freeStudent = new ScholarshipStudent();
payingStudent.SetName("Megan");
payingStudent.SetCredits(15);
freeStudent.SetName("Luke");
freeStudent.SetCredits(15);
object obj = payingStudent;
Console.WriteLine(payingStudent.ToString());
Console.WriteLine(freeStudent.ToString());
Console.WriteLine(obj.ToString());
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
class Student
{
private string name;
protected int credits;
public void SetName(string name)
{
this.name = name;
}
public void SetCredits(int creditHours)//SetCredits in the child class as well
{
credits = creditHours;
}
public
new/override
string ToString() //Tostring() overrides the Object class version.
{
string stuString = "Student " + name + " has " + credits + " credits";
return stuString;
}
}
class ScholarshipStudent : Student
{
new public void SetCredits(int creditHours)
{
credits = creditHours;
}
}
