Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) has four essential characteristics: abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
This lesson will cover what polymorphism is and how to implement them in Python. Also, you’ll learn how to implement polymorphism using function overloading, method overriding, and operator overloading.

What is Polymorphism in Python?
Polymorphism in Python is the ability of an object to take many forms. In simple words, polymorphism allows us to perform the same action in many different ways.
For example, Jessa acts as an employee when she is at the office. However, when she is at home, she acts like a wife. Also, she represents herself differently in different places. Therefore, the same person takes different forms as per the situation.
