what is polymorphism?

Answer Posted / durgasri

In object-oriented programming, polymorphism (from the
Greek meaning "having multiple forms") is the
characteristic of being able to assign a different meaning
or usage to something in different contexts - specifically,
to allow an entity such as a variable, a function, or an
object to have more than one form.
