Polymorphism is the method in which a java program can have more than one function(or method) with the same name but different method signatures(different parameters or return type).
possible allowance:
void s()
void s(int a)
void s(int a,int b)
void s(float a)
int s()
The 3 essential concepts of Object Oriented Programming are:InheritanceEncapsulation &Polymorphism
Polymorphism is the changing of one subject to an altered state. There are actually two areas of study where polymorphism would be particularly common: chemistry and web programming.
abstraction, inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism.

Object-based programming language is a language that supports all the features of object oriented programming features like classes,object,encapsulation ,abstraction,polymorphism etc except inheritence.

Dynamic polymorphism is a programming method that makes objects with the same name behave differently in different situations. This type of programming is used to allow Java Scripts to run while playing a game on the computer, for example.
Polymorphism means multiple form of a function, variable or object. In Computer Science, polymorphism is a programming language feature that allows values of different data types to be handles using a common interface. There are three types : Ad-Hoc Polymosphism, Parametric Polymorphism, Subtype/Inclusion Polymorphism. Source: Wikipedia.
Encapsulation, data hiding, inheritance and polymorphism.

In computer science, polymorphism means allowing a single definition to be used with different types of data (specifically, different classes of objects). For instance, a polymorphic function definition can replace several type-specific ones, and a single polymorphic operator can act in expressions of various types. Many programming languages and paradigms implement some forms of polymorphism; for a popular example, see polymorphism in object-oriented programming. The concept of polymorphism applies to data types in addition to functions. A function that can evaluate to and be applied to values of different types is known as a polymorphic function. A data type that contains elements of different types is known as a polymorphic data type. There are two fundamentally different kinds of polymorphism, as first informally described by Christopher Strachey in 1967. If the range of actual types that can be used is finite and the combinations must be specified individually prior to use, it is called ad-hoc polymorphism. If all code is written without mention of any specific type and thus can be used transparently with any number of new types, it is called parametric polymorphism. In their formal treatment of the topic in 1985, Luca Cardelli and Peter Wegner later restricted the term parametric polymorphism to instances with type parameters, recognizing also other kinds of universal polymorphism. Programming using parametric polymorphism is called generic programming, particularly in the object-oriented community. Advocates of object-oriented programming often cite polymorphism as one of the major benefits of that paradigm over others. Advocates of functional programming reject this claim on the grounds that the notion of parametric polymorphism is so deeply ingrained in many statically typed functional programming languages that most programmers simply take it for granted. However, the rise in popularity of object-oriented programming languages did contribute greatly to awareness and use of polymorphism in the mainstream programming community.
