The working of polymorphism and usage of super

In this guide, we are going to discuss another important concept in OOP called polymorphism. Polymorphism occurs when a class that inherits from a parent class overrides the behavior provided by the parent class.

To see a basic example, we'll continue working with our ApiConnector class:

class ApiConnector
  def initialize(title:, description:, url: 'google.com')
    @title = title
    @description = description
    @url = url
  end

  def api_logger
    puts "API Connector starting..."
  end
end 

I've added a new method to our class called api_logger.

Next, I'll create a class called PhoneConnector that inherits from our ApiConnector class. After we instantiate the class, it can call the api_logger method that we created in the parent class:

class PhoneConnector < ApiConnector
end

phone = PhoneConnector.new(title: 'My Title', description: 'Some content')
phone.api_logger 

If you run this code in the Terminal, you will get the API Connector Starting...
