  Polymorphism
• 3.
  Polymorphism The word polymorphismmeans having many forms. In object-oriented programming paradigm, polymorphism is often expressed as ‘one interface, multiple functions’. Polymorphism can be static or dynamic. In static polymorphism, the response to a function is determined at the compile time. In dynamic polymorphism, it is decided at runtime.

  Static Polymorphism The mechanismof linking a function with an object during compile time is called early binding. It is also called static binding. C# provides two techniques to implement static polymorphism. They are: - Function overloading - Operator overloading

  Function Overloading You canhave multiple definitions for the same function name in the same scope. The definition of the function must differ from each other by the types and/or the number of arguments in the argument list. You cannot overload function declarations that differ only by return type.

  Dynamic Polymorphism C# allowsyou to create abstract classes that are used to provide partial class implementation of an interface. Implementation is completed when a derived class inherits from it. Abstract classes contain abstract methods, which is implemented by the derived class. The derived classes have more specialized functionality.

  Dynamic Polymorphism Here arethe rules about abstract classes- - You cannot create an instance of an abstract class - You cannot declare an abstract method outside an abstract class - When a class is declared sealed. It cannot be inherited, abstract classes cannot be declared sealed.

  Dynamic Polymorphism When youhave a function defined in a class that you want to be implemented in an inherited class(es), you use virtual functions. The virtual functions could be implemented differently in different inherited class and the call to these functions will be decided at runtime. Dynamic polymorphism is implemented by abstract classes and virtual functions.

  Operator Overloading

  Operator Overloading You canredefine or overload most of the built-in operators available in C#. Thus programmer can use operators with user defined types as well. Overloaded operators followed by the symbol for the operator being defined. Similar to any other function, an overload operator has a return type and parameter list.

  Operator Overloading For example,go through the following function – The above function implements the addition (+) for a user defined class Box. It adds the attributes of two Box objects and returns the resultant Box object.
