Subclass and Superclass Objects as Method Parameters

It is possible (and actually a very common practice) to declare a method with one or more parameters of superclass types, and then actually pass subclass objects.

For example, imagine that we had an expanded class hierarchy:

• Secretary
• Executive
• ExecutiveSecretary
• Programmer

and we also will make some modifications to the existing Manager class.
