Polymorphism is one of the important feature of OOP's. It
consist of 2 words i.e., 'Poly' which stands for many
and 'Morphism' stands for forms.
We can divide the polymorphism into 2 types.
1. Static polymorphism
2. Dynamic polymorphism
Static polymorphism:- In this the binding is taken place in
compile time. The different types of static polymorphism
are:-
a) Function Overloading
b) Operator Overloading
Dynamic polymorphism:- In this the binding that takes place
at run-time. The difference types of dynamic polymorphism
are:-
a) Virtual function
b) Abstract class

Polymorphism is an concept of OOPS.
Polymorphism allows a client to treat different objects in
the same way even if they were created from different
classes and exhibit different behaviors.

Answer / syed ahsen raza ali
polymorphism basicilly provides multiple forms to a single
function or functionality to occure.in c++(oop) context i
can quote that using 0ne functionality if we could be able
to have multiple functionalities working only on a single
object,then we can say that we had done multiple tasks by
using one operation.
thanks.
