Media Player Example

Overview:

This project demonstrates the use of polymorphism in Java with the concept of interfaces. It involves controlling media playback through a common interface (Playable), where both music and video players implement this interface to provide the functionality of playing their respective media.

How It Works:

• Playable Interface: This interface defines a play() method, which is implemented by both MusicPlayer and VideoPlayer classes to play respective media.
• MusicPlayer Class: Implements Playable and provides an implementation for the play() method, indicating that a music track is being played.
• VideoPlayer Class: Implements Playable and provides an implementation for the play() method, indicating that a video with music is being played.
• MediaController Class: A controller class that uses the Playable interface to manage and play media, regardless of whether it’s audio or video.

Key Concepts:

• Polymorphism: Both MusicPlayer and VideoPlayer implement the same Playable interface, and the MediaController class can call the play() method on any object that implements Playable.
• Interface Implementation: Playable defines a contract (play() method), which is implemented by both media player classes.
• Method Overriding: Both MusicPlayer and VideoPlayer override the play() method to provide specific implementations for music and video media types.

Flow:

• MusicPlayer: Plays music when the play() method is invoked.
• VideoPlayer: Plays video and music together when the play() method is invoked.
• MediaController: Calls the play() method on Playable objects (either MusicPlayer or VideoPlayer) to control media playback.

Files:

• Main.java: The entry point where the objects of MusicPlayer, VideoPlayer, and MediaController are created and used to demonstrate the functionality.
• Playable.java: The interface that defines the play() method, implemented by both MusicPlayer and VideoPlayer.
• MusicPlayer.java: Implements the Playable interface and plays music.
• MediaController.java: Uses the Playable interface to control and play media (either music or video).
• VideoPlayer.java: Implements the Playable interface and plays video and music.

Requirements:

• Java 17+
• IDE (e.g., IntelliJ IDEA)
