Difference Between Compile Time And Run Time Polymorphism
|
Compile-Time Polymorphism |
Run-Time Polymorphism |
|---|---|
| It is also called Static Polymorphism. | It is also known as Dynamic Polymorphism. |
| In compile-time polymorphism, the compiler determines which function or operation to call based on the number, types, and order of arguments. | In run-time polymorphism, the decision of which function to call is determined at runtime based on the actual object type rather than the reference or pointer type. |
| Function calls are statically binded. | Function calls are dynamically binded. |
|
Compile-time Polymorphism can be exhibited by: 1. Function Overloading |
Run-time Polymorphism can be exhibited by Function Overriding. |
| Faster execution rate. | Comparatively slower execution rate. |
| Inheritance in not involved. | Involves inheritance. |
