What is the verb form of polymorph?

If a class is polymorphic (as used in phd design) then what character logically corresponds to these polymorphic classes is a simple meaning. There is no polymorphic class, what do I say here?

Polymorph is a word software folks created from the some handy Greek-ish roots poly (meaning “many”) and morph (meaning “change”). Of the base type (also known as class ) see the example above. The idea is to indicate that the base type (aka. class ) in question can be easily changed in many different ways (generally via a derived class of some kind). It is typically used only as adjective: modifies a noun or adverb (modifying a verb like is).

Why is the English grammar so bad? In conversation, sometimes we can transform a noun to a verb and add an “is” if we’ve somehow transformed the subject of the sentence into the subject of that other verb. If a program was to transform an array into a raster you could say I rasterized the array.

However, it’s awkward to do this first with an adverb rather than a noun. I already have an adverb in this dictionary too. I’m sure its done from time to time, but not everywherely. If I paint something blue, you wouldn’t likely hear someone say that I colorized that thing. And so sometimes I don’t.

Now you can try to transform a noun into a verb just by adding a simple -ed on the end of your noun or just as a verb ( polymorphed ). Regardless of how accurate you would say something about the subject, you had altered the subject itself. I didn’t understand why.

I don’t think you can get around the somewhat wordy “made it polymorphic” part.

What is the need to use the term (I think) really? However, I might say:

I’ve refactored the class to become polymorphic.

You can if you want to.

Is “Unknown”? Is the phrase “…made someclass polymorphic…” currently being still more common (as Google, and more specifically searching various programming languages, confirms). However, in technical contexts, coining new terms is quite common, and not generally scoffed at; and this one is completely transparent — anyone familiar with polymorphism will understand what you mean by “Associates and Employives”. This is an example of a person using polymorphize (or polymorphise ) as a verb. Also, while uncommon, it’s certainly not unknown: searching does give a fair few other examples of this.
