Give an example of polymorphism in C#.?
Short answer: abstract class Shape { public abstract void Draw(); } class Circle : Shape { public override void Draw() => Console.WriteLine("Drawing Circle"); } class Rectangle : Shape { public override void Draw() => Console.WriteLine("Drawing Rectangle"); } Shape s1 = new Circle();
Example code
Shape s2 = new Rectangle(); s1.Draw(); // Circle's Draw s2.Draw(); // Rectangle's Draw
Real-world example (ShopNest)
Checkout calls IPaymentGateway.Charge(). Razorpay and Stripe adapters implement the same interface, so ShopNest can switch gateways without rewriting the order service.
Say this in the interview
- Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
- Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
- Trade-off — when you would not use it.
