What is meant by Ad-hoc polymorphism, transient and pseudo polymorphism?

The Four Polymorphisms in C++.

When people talk about polymorphism in C++ they usually mean the thing of using a derived class through the base class pointer or reference, which is called subtype polymorphism. But they often forget that there are all kinds of other polymorphisms in C++, such as parametric polymorphism, ad-hoc polymorphism and coercion polymorphism.

These polymorphisms also go by different names in C++,

Subtype polymorphism is also known as runtime polymorphism.

Parametric polymorphism is also known as compile-time polymorphism.

Ad-hoc polymorphism is also known as overloading.

Coercion is also known as (implicit or explicit) casting.

Ad-hoc polymorphism allows functions with the same name act differently for each type. For example, given two 'int' values and the '+' operator, it adds them together. Given two 'std::strings' it concatenates them together. This is called overloading.

What is meant by Pseudo polymorphism?

What is pseudo polymorphism or is there any other name to this?

Can anyone give example pseudo polymorphism?

I want to know about Pseudo polymorphism and Transient polymorphism?

Ad-hoc means compiled time polymorphism in which two things operator and function overloading means same name different argument at time or different work.

What is the exact means of ad-hoc polymorphism?

Ad hoc polymorphism is also known as operator overloading.

Ad hoc polymorphism is a specific case of polymorphism, where different operators have different implementations depending on their arguments.

I am unable to find any material related to pseudo polymorphism(no definition, nothing at all). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
