Please anybody explain it?

Compile-time Example - Function Overloading
Run-time Example - Function Overriding, Interfaces.

I agree with kireeti,
I would like to add some spice to so that we can have good idea on these concepts.
We will go for the Compile time overloading when there is specific set of implementation we know earlier. For example take an area calculation
we can do it by using either Integer primitive data type, or Float data type or Double data type.
We will go for the Runtime polymorphism if we are having different set of implementations it self suppose if we can take the same area calculation at different shape level we are having shapes like triagle, rectangle ,etc. Each one has it's own implementation of area calculation so we will know the which component method will be included at the run time only.
