What is early binding in C#?

The mechanism of linking a function with an object during compile time is called early binding. It is also called static binding. C# provides two techniques to implement static polymorphism i.e Function overloading and Operator overloading.

Let us learn about Function Overloading with an example −

You can have multiple definitions for the same function name in the same scope. The definition of the function must differ from each other by the types and/or the number of arguments in the argument list. You cannot overload function declarations that differ only by return type.

The following is the complete example −

Example

 Live Demo

using System; namespace PolymorphismApplication {    class Printdata {       void print(int i) {          Console.WriteLine("Printing int: {0}", i );       }       void print(double f) {          Console.WriteLine("Printing float: {0}" , f);       }       void print(string s) {          Console.WriteLine("Printing string: {0}", s);       }       static void Main(string[] args) {          Printdata p = new Printdata();          // Call print to print integer          p.print(5);          // Call print to print float          p.print(500.263);          // Call print to print string          p.print("Hello C++");          Console.ReadKey();       }    } }

Output

Printing int: 5 Printing float: 500.263 Printing string: Hello C++
