Abstraction vs Polymorphism | Dataford Interview Questions

Describe the difference between abstraction and polymorphism, and give an example of each.

Implement the example by defining an abstract Shape interface and concrete shape classes for circles, rectangles, and triangles. Write calculate_areas(shapes) to return each shape's area in input order, rounded to six decimal places.

Each input shape is a dictionary with a type key and the dimensions required by that shape.

Constraints

0 <= shapes.length <= 10^4
Each shape type is one of: circle, rectangle, triangle
All dimensions are positive numbers
Circle inputs contain radius
Rectangle inputs contain width and height
Triangle inputs contain base and height
Return each area rounded to six decimal places

Function Signature

def calculate_areas(shapes):
