What is a static polymorphism in C#?

Static Polymorphism is the linking of a function with an object during compile time is called static. It is also called static binding. C# provides two techniques to implement static polymorphism i.e. Function overloading and Operator overloading.

Let us learn about Function Overloading. You can have multiple definitions for the same function name in the same scope. The definition of the function must differ from each other by the types and/or the number of arguments in the argument list. You cannot overload function declarations that differ only by return type.

The following is the complete example −

Example

using System;

namespace PolymorphismApplication {
   class Printdata {
      void print(int i) {
         Console.WriteLine("Printing int: {0}", i );
      }

      void print(double f) {
         Console.WriteLine("Printing float: {0}" , f);
      }

      void print(string s) {
         Console.WriteLine("Printing string: {0}", s);
      }

      static void Main(string[] args) {
         Printdata p = new Printdata();

         // Call print to print integer
         p.print(5);

         // Call print to print float
         p.print(500.263);

         // Call print to print string
         p.print("Hello C++");
         Console.ReadKey();
      }
   }
}
