difference between polymorphism and overloading

[heights]

Well, you got the gist didn't you.

C++ programmers usually have a quite limited outlook of what constitutes polymorphism. A broader view requires you to consider type systems and then there are four basic forms of polymorphism namely coersion, overloading, inclusion and parametric.

With this information you can safely go on learning C++ enjoying the benefits of a very polymorphic type system. What's been said in this thread will become clear to you eventually. Good luck.

Thank you for the luck!
