runtime polymorphism
[ˈrʌn.taɪm ˌpɒl.iˈmɔr.fɪ.zəm]
noun
polimorfismo em tempo de execução
1. A programming concept where a method call is resolved at runtime rather than compile time, allowing objects of different types to respond to the same method call in their own way
Runtime polymorphism enables a developer to write flexible and reusable code by using base class references to call methods that are overridden in derived classes.
O polimorfismo em tempo de execução permite que um desenvolvedor escreva código flexível e reutilizável usando referências da classe base para chamar métodos que são sobrescritos em classes derivadas.
2. The ability of objects to take on multiple forms and exhibit different behaviors based on their actual type, determined during program execution
In Java, runtime polymorphism is achieved through method overriding and inheritance, allowing different animal objects to execute their own version of the 'makeSound()' method.
Em Java, o polimorfismo em tempo de execução é alcançado através da sobrescrita de métodos e herança, permitindo que diferentes objetos de animais executem sua própria versão do método 'fazerSom()'.
Runtime polymorphism is a foundational concept in object-oriented programming education and practice in both Brazil and the United States. It is a critical topic in computer science curricula and software development interviews in both regions. The term is used consistently across both Portuguese-speaking and English-speaking development communities with minimal regional variation.
