you missed the class based polymorphism when a base class pointer can point to different classes (base/derived) during run time.

1) Runtime (Dynamic Binding) - Virtual Functions, RTTI, dynamic_cast<>
  2) Ad-hoc - Operator overloading
  3) Compile time (Static binding) - Templates
  4) Parametric polymorphism - Function overloading
