Very true Thomas. But I'm afraid, what you are talking about is not runtime polymorphism !!
What you are talking is overloading right? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Quick search on Google for "c++ polymorphism" comes up with a few reasonable examples. You know you've hit it when you encounter Base Classes and the 'virtual' keyword (Chapter 10, section 2 in Safe C++ Design Principles). I personally don't like the word "polymorphism". People get confused and start spouting off incorrect nonsense. I have to run a Google search to remember what it means - I just use it and don't really care what people call it. The phrase "base classes" carries more meaning for me because you derive classes from a base class and pass the base class around. Polymorphism is a fancy word and I don't like fancy words because my brain doesn't do fancy words. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* VerifyMyPC 2.3 Change tracking and management tool.
