  18. If, by your question, you mean if it is possible to write code such that, 
  19. when executed, the run-time environment chooses which course of action to 
  20. take through the use of inheritance and polymorphism.....the answer is yes.
  21.  
  22. I just wasn't sure if my definition of dynamic binding was correct.
