Explain polymorphism

Viewed 17053

What is polymorphism? I'm not sure I am understanding it correctly.

In the Python scope, what I am getting out of it is that I can define parameters as followed:

def blah (x, y)

without having to specify the type, as opposed to another language like Java, where it'd look more along the lines of:

public void blah (int x, string y)

Am I getting that right?
