  2. Multiple dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_dispatch

    C# introduced support for dynamic multimethods in version 4 [8] (April 2010) using the 'dynamic' keyword. The following example demonstrates multimethods. Like many other statically-typed languages, C# also supports static method overloading. [9] Microsoft expects that developers will choose static typing over dynamic typing in most scenarios. [10]

  3. Function overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_overloading

    Another example is a Print(object o) function that executes different actions based on whether it's printing text or photos. The two different functions may be overloaded as Print(text_object T); Print(image_object P). If we write the overloaded print functions for all objects our program will "print", we never have to worry about the type of ...

  4. Method overriding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_overriding

    The overridden base method must be virtual, abstract, or override. In addition to the modifiers that are used for method overriding, C# allows the hiding of an inherited property or method. This is done using the same signature of a property or method but adding the modifier new in front of it. [6] In the above example, hiding causes the following:

  5. Double dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dispatch

    Double dispatch is useful in situations where the choice of computation depends on the runtime types of its arguments. For example, a programmer could use double dispatch in the following situations: Sorting a mixed set of objects: algorithms require that a list of objects be sorted into some canonical order. Deciding if one element comes ...

  6. C Sharp (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_(programming_language)

    When implementing multiple interfaces that contain a method with the same name and taking parameters of the same type in the same order (i.e. the same signature), similar to Java, C# allows both a single method to cover all interfaces and if necessary specific methods for each interface. C# also offers function overloading (a.k.a. ad-hoc ...

  7. Ad hoc polymorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hoc_polymorphism

    Ad hoc polymorphism is a dispatch mechanism: control moving through one named function is dispatched to various other functions without having to specify the exact function being called. Overloading allows multiple functions taking different types to be defined with the same name; the compiler or interpreter automatically ensures that the right ...

  8. Virtual function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_function

    And even if methods owned by the base class call the virtual method, they will instead be calling the derived method. Overloading occurs when two or more methods in one class have the same method name but different parameters. Overriding means having two methods with the same method name and parameters. Overloading is also referred to as ...

  9. Visitor pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visitor_pattern

    For languages whose object systems support multiple dispatch, not only single dispatch, such as Common Lisp or C# via the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR), implementation of the visitor pattern is greatly simplified (a.k.a. Dynamic Visitor) by allowing use of simple function overloading to cover all the cases being visited.
