  2. Downcasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downcasting

    In the below example, the method objectToString takes an Object parameter which is assumed to be of type String. public static String objectToString ( Object myObject ) { // This will only work when the myObject currently holding value is string. return ( String ) myObject ; } public static void main ( String [] args ) { // This will work since ...

  3. Polymorphic recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphic_recursion

    Roberts (p. 171) gives a related example in Java, using a Class to represent a stack frame. The example given is a solution to the Tower of Hanoi problem wherein a stack simulates polymorphic recursion with a beginning, temporary and ending nested stack substitution structure. [5]

  4. Object model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_model

    To invoke a method in an object, the object reference and method name are given, together with any arguments. Interfaces An interface provides a definition of the signature of a set of methods without specifying their implementation. An object will provide a particular interface if its class contains code that implement the method of that ...

  5. Method overriding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_overriding

    C++ does not have the keyword super that a subclass can use in Java to invoke the superclass version of a method that it wants to override. Instead, the name of the parent or base class is used followed by the scope resolution operator. For example, the following code presents two classes, the base class Rectangle, and the derived class Box.

  6. Double dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dispatch

    The problem is that more than one degree of polymorphism exist: one for dispatching the display_on method to an object and another for selecting the right code (or method) for displaying. A much cleaner and more maintainable solution is then to do a second dispatch, this time for selecting the right method for displaying the object on the medium:

  7. Ad hoc polymorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hoc_polymorphism

    The previous section notwithstanding, there are other ways in which ad hoc polymorphism can work out. Consider for example the Smalltalk language. In Smalltalk, the overloading is done at run time, as the methods ("function implementation") for each overloaded message ("overloaded function") are resolved when they are about to be executed.

  8. Curiously recurring template pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiously_recurring...

    For example, a container defined as std::vector<Shape*> does not work because Shape is not a class, but a template needing specialization. A container defined as std::vector<Shape<Circle>*> can only store Circles, not Squares. This is because each of the classes derived from the CRTP base class Shape is a unique type.

  9. Multiple dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_dispatch

    Multiple dispatch or multimethods is a feature of some programming languages in which a function or method can be dynamically dispatched based on the run-time (dynamic) type or, in the more general case, some other attribute of more than one of its arguments. [1]
