Polymorphism is one of the key concepts of object-oriented programming, which allows objects of different classes to respond differently to the same messages (method calls).

In simple terms, polymorphism allows using a single interface to work with different types of objects, each implementing its own behavior.

For example, you have a base class Animal with a method MakeSound(). Derived classes Dog and Cat override this method to produce different sounds. When MakeSound() is called through a reference to the base class, the method of the specific object is invoked.

This simplifies the code and increases its flexibility, as there is no need to write separate logic for each type — just work with the base interface.
