In this post, I am discussing the difference between compile Time And Runtime Polymorphism.
The meaning of polymorphism stands for “Poly mean Many” + “Morph means Forms”. It is one of the features of object-oriented programming having the ability to take more than one form.
Today we will see, the main two types of polymorphism.
- Compile Time Polymorphism
- Runtime Polymorphism
| Compile-Time Polymorphism | Run-Time Polymorphism |
| It’s also called early binding or static polymorphism. | It’s also called late binding or dynamic binding polymorphism |
| The method is called or invoked during compile time. | The method is called/invoked during run time. |
| The implementation of compile-time via function overloading and operator overloading. | The implementation of Run-Time via function overloading and operator overloading |
| For example, method overloading and operator overloading. Many methods having the same name but different numbers or types of arguments. | For example, method overriding. Many methods having a similar name and the same prototype. |
| Faster execution, because method discovery is done during compile-time. | Slower execution, because method discovery is done during run-time. |
