Describe the structural design necessity to ensure polymorphism at runtime.

This week, weve been discussing polymorphism. Polymorphism is one of the fundamentals of software engineering. Polymorphic behavior implies, at runtime, that the same message has different behavioral effects. For this weeks Critical Thinking Assignment, create a polymorphic class diagram of a design of your choosing. Add an aggregation relationship to this diagram. Write a sample pseudocode script to explain the polymorphic class diagram.

Additionally, in a one-page paper, explain why polymorphism is a runtime characteristic of object-oriented designs. Describe the structural design necessity to ensure polymorphism at runtime.

Simple code example for polymorphism:

//This pseudocode indicates that when the driver object issues a call to moveCar, whichever object has been instantiated (FourWheel or FamilyCar) will move.

Class Driver:
Car myCar;

myCar := new FourWheel;

myCar.moveCar();

myCar := new FamilyCar;

myCar.moveCar();

Please cite at least one additional credible or scholarly source to support your analysis and positions. This activity will vary in length, however the written portion should be a minimum of one page in length

Please include your diagram, pseudocode, and writeup in a Word or PDF document and submit for grading.
