User:O11c/Polymorphism

Polymorphism is the ability of a programming language to provide different (but sometimes similar) semantics for the same syntax, depending on the types of the operands.

There are two kinds of polymorphism: static polymorphism and dynamic polymorphism.

Static Polymorphism

templates

function overloading

overloaded builtins

Dynamic Polymorphism

virtual methods

Java methods are virtual by default

C++ methods are only virtual if explicitly made such.
