Ad-hoc Polymorphism

Ad-hoc polymorphism allows functions to be defined with different behaviors for different types. This can be achieved through function overloading or operator overloading.

In Python:
class Solution:
    def print(self, a):
        if isinstance(a, int):
            print(f"Printing int: {a}")
        elif isinstance(a, str):
            print(f"Printing String: {a}")

# Example usage
sol = Solution()
sol.print(10)  # Output: Printing int: 10
sol.print("Hello")  # Output: Printing String: Hello
