polymorphism

subject fact

polymorphism has definition A property of object oriented software by which an abstract operation may be performed in different ways in different classes 2001-08-30 14:57:01.0
exists when several classes which each implement the operation either have a common superclass in which the operation exists, or else implement an interface that contains the operation
gets power from dynamic binding
is one of the fundamental features of the object oriented paradigm 2001-08-30 14:57:01.0
is a subtopic of 2.4 - Methods, Operations and Polymorphism
is a kind of software quality
