Using Function Overloading and Function Overriding we can achieve polymorphism in .net

I dont think the question dont mean the syntax that you use, but I think what the question all about is how you achieve polymorphism. In polymorphism there are multiple methods having the same signature.1.public int Add(int x, iny)2.public float Add(float x, float y)3. public double Add(double x, double y)

Also by Virtual Method.

Having multiple methods with different signature is not polymorphism. That is function overloading.

Polymorphism allows you to use a particular object as multiple types, that is its own type and the base types. It is achieved through inheritance.  The derived class can have the behaviour of the base class or can define its own behaviour by overriding the virtual functions of the base class.

I am afraid this is also one form of polymorphism and is called Compile-time polymorphism.

This is runtime polymorphism
