Thank you for the example.  Whenever I read about Polymorphism, the 
authors (in every case) teach by example:  IOW, "here's how to do it", 
without stating what "it" is in a definitive way.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is (the more differences the 
better) between polymorphism and dynamic binding?  Is there ever a 
situation where one exists and at the same time the other doesn't?  If 
there are none, the two words must be synonyms.  That begs the question:  
why have two words when one will suffice?
