With overloading, it is the function name that is polymorphic. At run time, objects of a derived class may be treated as objects of a base class in places such as method parameters and collections or. Here one form represent original form or original method always resides in base class and multiple forms represents overridden method which resides in derived classes. The term bear could be a verb to carry a burden or it could be a noun a large, hairy mammal.
