7.1.2 Polymorphism & final Class | Java OCA 1Z0-808

Java OCA 1Z0-808 7.1.2 — Polymorphism & final Class

Master Polymorphism and Dynamic Dispatch for the Oracle Certified Associate Java SE 8 (1Z0-808) exam.

In this video, we cover:
✅ Polymorphism — parent reference holding a child object
✅ Dynamic dispatch — method calls resolved at RUNTIME based on actual object
✅ Compile-time resolution — field access uses reference type, not actual object
✅ The field vs method asymmetry — the most tested polymorphism trap
✅ a.speak() calls Dog's method even through Animal reference
✅ a.name returns Animal's field even when actual object is Dog
✅ final class — cannot be extended, compile error on extends
✅ String is a real-world final class — cannot be subclassed
✅ final method — class can be extended but that method cannot be overridden
✅ Difference between final class and final method
✅ Practice question — predicting output with parent reference and field access

This is Objective 7 of the OCA exam: "Working with Inheritance — Develop code that makes use of polymorphism, differentiate between the type of a reference and the type of an object."
