I am scheduled for (Hopefully) Mitral Valve repair surgery in September to repair both the posterior and anterior leaflets. There is some risk that a repair cannot be accomplished and a mechanical valve will be inserted. I am a 45 year old male in excellent physical condition otherwise. Questions:
Polymorphism is an object-oriented programming concept that refers to the ability of a variable, function or object to take on multiple forms. A language that features polymorphism allows developers to program in the general rather than program in the specific.
So polymorphism is the ability (in programming) to present the same interface for differing underlying forms (data types). For example, integers and floats are implicitly polymorphic since you can add, subtract, multiply and so on, irrespective of the fact that the types are different.
