Polymorphism is a fundamental principle in designing how a system is organized to handle similar variations. A design based on assigning responsibilities by Polymorphism can be easily extended to handle new variations. New implementations can be introduced without affecting clients.

Signs for using Polymorphism

• method contains a lot of if/else
• method contains switch-case
