Polymorphism

 Polymorphism in Java occurs when there are one or more classes or
objects related to each other by inheritance. In other words, it is the
ability of an object to take many forms. Inheritance lets users inherit
attributes and methods, and polymorphism uses these methods for
performing different tasks. So, the goal is communication but the
approach is different.

Dynamic Binding

 Binding refers to the linking of a procedure call to the procedure
definition (code) to be executed in response to the call.
Binding is classified as static binding and dynamic binding as
explained below:

i. Static Binding means that the code associated with the
given procedure call is known as compile time.

ii. Dynamic Binding means the code associated with given
procedure call is know until the time of the call at run time.
