Jun 23, 2009 · I believe it is incorrect to imply that polymorphism is specific to classes and/or object-oriented programming, seeing how ad hoc polymorphism or parametric polymorphism do not necessarily require classes and/or objects. I think what this answer is talking about is subtyping (also known as subtype polymorphism or inclusion polymorphism).

Dec 26, 2013 · Can anyone provide a simple example that explains the difference between Dynamic and Static polymorphism in Java?

Jun 10, 2011 · 18 The main difference is polymorphism is a specific result of inheritance. Polymorphism is where the method to be invoked is determined at runtime based on the type of the object. This is a situation that results when you have one class inheriting from another and overriding a particular method.

Mar 6, 2010 · 23 I've my answer in form of a conversation to be a better read: Why do we need virtual functions? Because of Polymorphism. What is Polymorphism? The fact that a base pointer can also point to derived type objects. How does this definition of Polymorphism lead into the need for virtual functions? Well, through early binding. What is early binding?

Dec 25, 2014 · Polymorphism is one of the tenets of Object Oriented Programming (OOP). It is the practice of designing objects to share behaviors and to be able to override shared behaviors with specific ones. Polymorphism takes advantage of inheritance in order to make this happen. In OOP everything is considered to be modeled as an object. This abstraction can be taken all …

Oct 1, 2008 · In other words, type polymorphism vs. ad-hoc polymorphism. I'm upvoting this answer, even if not as complete as it should, because it correctly states that both overloading and overriding are related to polymorphism.
