Python is an object oriented programming language along side language like Java, C++, C#, etc

one of the concept of OOP is polymorphism allowing object to be created in different form.

Now here is the real deal, Java support Constructor overloading the same for C# but you have to be creative to do that in python say use of default value in the init method.

But i needed to create an object of a class in different form and using default value will not cut it or make it work the way i wanted it to.

So can I create another class with similar logic with slight discrepancies from the former and i am considering efficiency here.

Thanks

Python supports polymorphism very well (almost), could you post a snippet of what you are trying to do in java or elaborate further.

How ?, elaborate.

Most of the time **kwargs will be sufficient, and if you need overloading based on compile time differentiation of objects, read about python single dispatch on Google.

Tried that my friend, thanks i appreciate your input.

Ok. This library could also be of help if you need something similar to Java's overloading. https://github.com/mrocklin/multipledispatch

Thanks boss i really appreciate.
