Computer Science / Unit 7 CS 0375 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Polymorphism

The idea
Polymorphism means inherited behaviors may perform differently by context — a Dog is an Animal making noise, a Snake is an Animal making noise, and the noises differ.
In practice
One "make noise" command in a game menagerie yields a bark here, a hiss there.
Where people slip
Same behavior name, context-decided performance — that is the point.
