I assume you mean 'polymorphism'. Polymorphism (in my terms) is where a
function can accept any type of data, e.g. a char, bool or num. I'm only
just starting to learn Ada today, but in Miranda, a polymorphic
function's signature is something like:
testProcA :: [*] -> * -> *
[*] indicates a list of any type, and * indicates any type.
Easy! (famous last words)
