重写和重载都用于实现多态性。

你可以在一个类中有一个方法 它在或中被覆盖 更多的子类。这个方法可以 不同的东西取决于哪个 类用于实例化对象。

    abstract class Beverage {
       boolean isAcceptableTemperature();
    }

    class Coffee extends Beverage {
       boolean isAcceptableTemperature() { 
           return temperature > 70;
       }
    }

    class Wine extends Beverage {
       boolean isAcceptableTemperature() { 
           return temperature < 10;
       }
    }

你也可以有一种方法 用两组或多组参数重载。这个方法可以 不同的东西基于 传递的参数类型。

    class Server {
        public void pour (Coffee liquid) {
            new Cup().fillToTopWith(liquid);
        }

        public void pour (Wine liquid) {
            new WineGlass().fillHalfwayWith(liquid);
        }

        public void pour (Lemonade liquid, boolean ice) {
            Glass glass = new Glass();
            if (ice) {
                glass.fillToTopWith(new Ice());
            }
            glass.fillToTopWith(liquid);
        }
    }

重写更像是通过声明一个与上层方法(超级方法)具有相同名称和签名的方法来隐藏一个继承的方法，这为类添加了多态行为。 换句话说，选择要调用的级别方法的决定将在运行时而不是在编译时做出。 这就引出了接口和实现的概念。

Polymorphism is a multiple implementations of an object or you could say multiple forms of an object. lets say you have class Animals as the abstract base class and it has a method called movement() which defines the way that the animal moves. Now in reality we have different kinds of animals and they move differently as well some of them with 2 legs, others with 4 and some with no legs, etc.. To define different movement() of each animal on earth, we need to apply polymorphism. However, you need to define more classes i.e. class Dogs Cats Fish etc. Then you need to extend those classes from the base class Animals and override its method movement() with a new movement functionality based on each animal you have. You can also use Interfaces to achieve that. The keyword in here is overriding, overloading is different and is not considered as polymorphism. with overloading you can define multiple methods "with same name" but with different parameters on same object or class.

下面是伪c# /Java中的多态性示例:

class Animal
{
    abstract string MakeNoise ();
}

class Cat : Animal {
    string MakeNoise () {
        return "Meow";
    }
}

class Dog : Animal {
    string MakeNoise () {
        return "Bark";
    }
}

Main () {
   Animal animal = Zoo.GetAnimal ();
   Console.WriteLine (animal.MakeNoise ());
}

Main函数不知道动物的类型，并且依赖于MakeNoise()方法的特定实现的行为。

编辑:看来布莱恩先我一步了。有趣的是我们用了同样的例子。但是上面的代码应该有助于阐明概念。

多态性涉及到一种语言通过使用单一接口统一处理不同对象的能力;因此，它与覆盖有关，因此接口(或基类)是多态的，实现者是覆盖的对象(同一奖章的两个面)

无论如何，这两个术语之间的区别可以用其他语言更好地解释，比如c++:如果基本函数是虚的，那么c++中的多态对象的行为就像Java对应的对象一样，但如果方法不是虚的，那么代码跳转是静态解析的，并且在运行时不检查真实类型，因此，多态包括对象根据用于访问它的接口而表现不同的能力;让我在伪代码中做一个例子:

class animal {
    public void makeRumor(){
        print("thump");
    }
}
class dog extends animal {
    public void makeRumor(){
        print("woff");
    }
}

animal a = new dog();
dog b = new dog();

a.makeRumor() -> prints thump
b.makeRumor() -> prints woff

(假设makeRumor不是虚拟的)

Java并没有真正提供这种级别的多态性(也称为对象切片)。

动物a =新狗(); Dog b = new Dog ();

a.makeRumor() -> prints thump
b.makeRumor() -> prints woff

在这两种情况下，它只会打印woff.. 因为a和b指的是类dog
