  2. Polymorphism (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphism_(computer...

    Polymorphism can be distinguished by when the implementation is selected: statically (at compile time) or dynamically (at run time, typically via a virtual function). This is known respectively as static dispatch and dynamic dispatch, and the corresponding forms of polymorphism are accordingly called static polymorphism and dynamic polymorphism.

  3. Operator overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_overloading

    Python allows operator overloading through the implementation of methods with special names. [48] For example, the addition (+) operator can be overloaded by implementing the method obj.__add__(self, other). Ruby allows operator overloading as syntactic sugar for simple method calls.

  4. Parametric polymorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_polymorphism

    The identity function is a particularly extreme example, but many other functions also benefit from parametric polymorphism. For example, an a p p e n d {\displaystyle {\mathsf {append}}} function that concatenates two lists does not inspect the elements of the list, only the list structure itself.

  5. Duck typing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing

    Duck typing is similar to, but distinct from, structural typing.Structural typing is a static typing system that determines type compatibility and equivalence by a type's structure, whereas duck typing is dynamic and determines type compatibility by only that part of a type's structure that is accessed during runtime.

  6. Method overriding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_overriding

    Thought dates = new Advice (); // Polymorphism dates. message (); // Prints "Warning: Dates in calendar are closer than they appear." When a subclass contains a method that overrides a method of the superclass, then that (superclass's) overridden method can be explicitly invoked from within a subclass's method by using the keyword super . [ 3 ] (

  7. Dynamic dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_dispatch

    Polymorphism is the phenomenon wherein somewhat interchangeable objects each expose an operation of the same name but possibly differing in behavior. As an example, a File object and a Database object both have a StoreRecord method that can be used to write a personnel record to storage. Their implementations differ.

  8. List of polymorphisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_polymorphisms

    All the flies look alike whatever inversions they carry: this is an example of a cryptic polymorphism. Accordingly, Dobzhansky favoured the idea that the morphs became fixed in the population by means of Sewall Wright's drift. [54] However, evidence rapidly accumulated to show that natural selection was responsible: Drosophila polytene ...

  9. Curiously recurring template pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiously_recurring...

    In the above example, the function Base<Derived>::interface(), though declared before the existence of the struct Derived is known by the compiler (i.e., before Derived is declared), is not actually instantiated by the compiler until it is actually called by some later code which occurs after the declaration of Derived (not shown in the above ...
