Runtime polymorphism and compiletime polymorphism

Polymorphism is one of type of oops I.e object oriented programming. It says that Polymorphism is just a method with same name showing one to many characteristics.

For example method with same names in a class but with different no of parameters values exhibit different behavior for the same method name.

shape(int x)
shape(int x,int y)

Types of Polymorphism:


Compiletime Polymorphism :
It is known as method overloading

Example:
Class area
{
 Public calcArea (int x)
 {
 }
Public calcArea (int x, int y)
 {
 }
Public calcArea (int x, int y, int z)
 {
 }
}

Runtime polymorphism:
It is known as method overriding.

Example:
class Class2 
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Area a = new Area2();
            int x = a.calcArea(5);

            Console.WriteLine("Result" + x);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }

    class Area2 : Area
    {
         public override int calcArea(int x)
         {
             return x * x;
         }

    }

    class Area
    {
        public virtual int calcArea(int x)
        {
            return x + x;
        }
    }
