Overloading and overriding are examples of polymorphism
Is it true??
i feel poly is runtime binding so the answer must be
overriding but in one of the mok exam they have mentioned
overloading also !!
what is right??

Overloading, says Peter van der Linden, is weak polymorphism. Binding of methods takes place at compile time. True polymorphism should, IMO, mean RUN TIME binding.
