Java: Composition vs Inheritance
Answer
Polymorphism allows objects to be treated as instances of their parent class.
Polymorphism enables methods to be invoked on objects of different classes through a common interface. If a 'Payment' class has a 'process' method, both 'CreditCardPayment' and 'PayPalPayment' can be used interchangeably in code expecting a 'Payment', promoting flexibility.
