polymorphism

Polymorphism, polymorphic, polymorph, polymorphous, or polymorphy may refer to:

==Computing== Polymorphism (computer science), the ability in programming to present the same programming interface for differing underlying forms Ad hoc polymorphism, applying polymorphic functions to arguments of different types Parametric polymorphism, abstracts types, so that multiple can be used with a single implementation Bounded quantification, restricts type parameters to a range of subtypes Subtyping, different classes related by some common superclass can be used in place of that superclass Row polymorphism, uses structural subtyping to allow polymorphism over records Polymorphic code, self-modifying program code designed to defeat anti-virus programs or reverse engineering
