Polymorphism may be classified as

1. Interface based
2. Inheritance based.

It also may be classified as

1. compile time polymorphism
2. run time polymorphism

Runtime polymorphism is achieved by means of virtual methods declared by the base class which are overriden by a derived class. The method to be executed is determined at runtime depending on the type of object that has issued the call.
