Use of generalization in class modeling:

• Generalization supports for polymorphism. In this, a call for an operation at the superclass level is resolved by the object oriented compiler to the method that matches the calling object‟s class. Polymorphism increases the flexibility of software.

• Generalization structures the description of objects. When generalization is used objects are organizes on the basis of their similarities and differences.

• Generalization is used to reuse the existing code. Reuse is more productive than repeatedly writing a code from scratch.
