Here are scenarios where inheritance and polymorphism can be applied in programming:

1. Shapes Hierarchy:

Imagine you're designing a drawing application. You could create a base class called `Shape`, and then
derive classes like `Circle`, `Rectangle`, and `Triangle` from it. Each derived class would inherit common
properties and methods from the base class, such as `calculateArea()`. This way, you can treat all shapes
uniformly using polymorphism, allowing you to call methods like `calculateArea()` on any shape object
without worrying about its specific type.

2. Vehicle Types:

Suppose you're working on a simulation of different types of vehicles. You could have a base class
`Vehicle` and then derive classes like `Car`, `Truck`, and `Motorcycle` from it. Each vehicle type might
have its own unique properties and methods, like `calculateFuelEfficiency()`. With polymorphism, you
can create a list of `Vehicle` objects and iterate through them, calling methods like `startEngine()`
without needing to know the specific vehicle type.

3. Banking System:

In a banking application, you might have a base class `Account` and derived classes like `SavingsAccount`
and `CheckingAccount`. Each account type would have methods like `deposit()` and `withdraw()`. By
using polymorphism, you can treat all account types uniformly, allowing you to perform common
operations across different account types without knowing their exact implementations.

4. Multimedia Players:

Imagine creating a multimedia player that can handle different types of media files: audio and video. You
could create a base class `Media` and then derived classes like `Audio` and `Video`. Each media type
might have methods like `play()` and `pause()`. By using polymorphism, you can play and control both
audio and video files using the same interface, regardless of their specific implementations.

5. Employee Management:

Suppose you're building an employee management system. You could have a base class `Employee` and
derived classes like `Manager`, `Developer`, and `Designer`. Each employee type would have methods
like `calculateSalary()` and `displayInfo()`. With polymorphism, you could store all employee types in a
single list and iterate through them to perform actions like calculating total salary or displaying employee
information.
