Answer / swathi

It is a feature that allows one interface to be used for
general class of actions. The specific action is determined
by the exact nature of the situation. In general
polymorphism means "one interface, multiple methods", This
means that it is possible to design a generic interface to
a group of related activities. This helps reduce complexity
by allowing the same interface to be used to specify a
general class of action. It is the compiler's job to select
the specific action (that is, method) as it applies to each
situation

Answer / ujjawal ranjan

Polymorphism is a characteristics of OOPS(Object Oriented Programming Language) through which method/function for any class of objects can be called by the same name and each responses according to their type-specific behavior .
The main benefit of polymorphism is that it simplifies the programming interface. It permits conventions to be established that can be reused in class after class.
Instead of inventing a new name for each new function you add to a program the same names can be reused.
It helps in understanding an interface.
