\nBehaving in different ways depending upon input receive is know as polymorphism. i.e. whenever input changes automatically output or behavior also changes.<\/span>
\n
\nThere are basically two types of polymorphism in c# i.e.<\/span><\/span>
\nStatic\/Compiletime\/Early Binding <\/strong>
Dynamic\/Runtime\/ Late Binding<\/strong><\/span>
\n
<\/strong>
\nStatic- <\/strong>Static polymorphism is also called as Compile Time polymorphism. In Static polymorphism methods are overloaded  with same name but having different signatures.So it is called as method overloading.<\/span><\/span>
\n – In case of overloading methods whenever we call a method for that method call based on parameter if identifies which method should be executed and binds the method calls its method definition and method executed in runtime.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n
\nDynamic-<\/strong>Dynamic polymorphism is also called as Run Time polymorphism. In this type of polymorphism methods have the same name, same signature but different in the implementation.<\/span><\/span>
\nIn Dynamic polymorphism methods are overridden so it also called as method overriding. <\/span>

During run time, Method overriding can be achieved by using inheritance principle and using “<\/span>virtual<\/strong>” and “<\/span>override<\/strong>” keyword. so this type of polymorphism can also be called as late binding.<\/span>
In late binding compiler doesn’t know what kind of methods it has to call and which can be achieved only during the run time.so it is called as run time polymorphism.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nPolymorphism can be implemented in object oriented programming language using three different approach:<\/span>
\n
\n1.Overloading<\/span>
\n2.Overriding<\/span>
\n3.Hiding\/Shadowing<\/span>
\n
\nOverloading is again of 3 types-<\/span>
