The ability to take more than one form. It can also be defined as the ability to use the same syntax for objects of different types.
Example:
In some programming languages, the addition operation:
i) For two numbers generates a sum.
e.g.: 3 + 5 = 8,
ii) For two words generates a third string through concatenation of the wo
strings. e.g.:
Computer + Programming = ComputerProgramming
In OOP, polymorphism is used to describe variables which may refer at run time to objects of different classes. A single function can be used to handle different number and different types of arguments. The usage of a function to perform different types of tasks is referred to as overloading
