function call in the code depends on the dynamic type of a single object and therefore they are known as single dispatch calls, or simply virtual function calls...

This runtime type information (RTTI) can also be used to implement dynamic dispatch, late binding, downcasting, reflective programming (reflection), and...

dynamic resolution can in general only be determined at run time, and thus is known as late binding. In object-oriented programming, dynamic dispatch...
