The Only Time You Should Use Polymorphism

  • The only time you should use subtype polymorphism is when you have behavioural variation in the subtypes. I teach two university courses on object oriented programming and I see this problem a lot. Let me explain. RECOMMENDED READING:

    I've been watching your playlists whilst working on my project over the last year, and this video is so relevant to what I'm currently working on, and exactly what I've been asking myself while working on my current systems. Being self taught I don't know the theory very well, so I would had never known that I was dealing with 'sub-type polymorphism'. Good to know I've been going down the right path, and also to know what it's called!

    What I get from the explanation is:
    We should/must prefer to be implicit about a specific type of data that has the same structure and behavior, instead of being explicit (where we define it based on the actual concept or domain) about that type (CMIW).

    @TazG2000 Месяц назад +2

    I would add a point that "variations in behavior" can also come from _outside_ the class - a class can just be a data type, without being responsible for all the ways the data will be used. Imagine an Attack subtype, EnergyAttack, which has an additional property EnergyType. Now Scratch is a base Attack instance, and Thunderbolt is an EnergyAttack (with EnergyType = Lightning). Looking at just the class definitions, you could say this is a data-only variation, but it makes sense because the change is in the data structure (an additional property), not just values. These subclasses may or may not implement variations in behavior themselves, but _allow for_ external variations by being different types: We may have many general functions that work with the Attack type, as well as some functions that accept EnergyAttack specifically and work with the EnergyType property.

    WB Christopher,
    ---
    I have a very curious question:
    6:55: YES, why?
    7:35: You MUST have had a way simpler example at first, where you still used "IAttack"; which is sort of revealed by you forgetting to delete "Stun".
    I personally believe that you might have overthought the lesson a bit here. Despite how rational you try to justify the new super type and broader scope.
    As I see it, you could easily still have stuck to: "IAttack". The third example would then showcase e.g. "Attack" and "Stun". The latter could implement e.g. a timer for the duration of the stun. That would now also be accounted for as an introduction of a new behavior and the whole thing would be fairly straight forward to understand, at least in my book 🙂
    Instead, I feel like, with the current approach (creating a broader super type) students could then easily start wondering - when is enough - enough?
    You could then arguably keep pushing the goalpost, higher and higher in responsibility, instead of keeping the example grounded where it all began...
    I guess this also leaves the solution vulnerable to potential constant refactor, just as the slightest requirements change regarding the architecture...
    I think you somewhat try to clarify for this yourself around 9:55...
    Maybe I'm just too caught up in the semantics or too curious...
    Let me know, if I misunderstood something very vital 🙂
