Polymorphism in programming refers to the ability to use a single interface or symbol to represent different types. This concept is inspired by the idea of organisms having multiple forms or stages in biology. The main classes of polymorphism include ad-hoc polymorphism, parametric polymorphism, and subtype polymorphism.
