| Jan 25, 2018 at 23:21 | comment | added | T.T.T. | @Antony Gibbs: this is a really good example (a list of the generic types) that makes sense to me....otherwise what is the big deal of having each class have it's own wheels function without inheriting from a base class? Are there any more concepts besides list that would be good for polymorphic? | |

To do this one would need some sort of factory class for Class_Excel, Class_CSV to be called, or have a Reader class called. Either way, some sort of iterative if/then/else is going to have to be stored somewhere. | |

| Oct 30, 2014 at 2:09 | comment | added | wired00 | I think this is a very good example for showing clearly the parent interface, and that it is not until the object is instantiated that a concrete version is required, ie vehicle vs car | |
