Subclassing

This example uses a superclass LCL_AIRPLANE and subclasses it into LCL_PASSENGER_AIRPLANE and LCL_CARGO_PLANE.

LCL_AIRPLANE has a method display_n_o_airplanes that displays the number of object instances.

LCL_PASSENGER_AIRPLANE has the private instance attribute n_o_seats, and redefines the superclass method display_attributes
so it also displays
n_o_seats.

LCL_CARGO_PLANE has the private instance attribute cargomax, and redefines the superclass method
 display_attributes, so it also displays
cargomax.

All instance attributes are provided by the cunstructor method.

Polymorphism

Polymorphism: When the same method is implemented differently in different classes. This can be done u
sing enheritance, by redefining a method from the superclass in subclasses and implement it differently.

Classes:

  • lcl_airplane Superclass
  • lcl_cargo_airplane Subclass
  • lcl_passenger_airplane Subclass

The method estimate_fuel_consumption is implemented differently in the 3 classes, as it depends on the airplane type.

Object from different classes are stored in an internal table (plane_list) consisting of references to the 
superclass, and the processed identically for all the classes.
What coding for the estimate_fuel_consumption method taht is actually executed, depends on the dynamic 
type of the plane reference variable, that is, depends on which object plane points to.
DATA: cargo_plane            TYPE REF to lcl_cargo_airplane,
    passenger_plane TYPE REF to lcl_passenger_airplane,
plane_list TYPE TABLE OF REF TO lcl_airplane.
* Creating the list of references
CREATE OBJECT cargo_plane.
APPEND cargo_plane to plane_list.
CREATE OBJECT passenger_plane
APPEND passenger_plane to plane list.
* Generic method for calucalting required fuel
METHOD calculate required_fuel.
DATA: plane TYPE REF TO lcl_airplane.
  LOOP AT plane_list INTO plane.
re_fuel = re_fuel + plane->estimate_fuel_consumption( distance ).
ENDLOOP.
ENDMETHOD.
Working example:
This example assumes that the classes lcl_airplane,  lcl_passnger_airplane and lcl_cargo plane exists.
Create objects of type lcl_cargo_plane and lcl_passenger_airplane, adds them to a list in lcl_carrier, 
and displays the list.
