In terms of incomprehensible abbreviations, what's OOSD?
*me takes a shot at Object Oriented Software Development*
Sorry; can't help you with that (and yes, I am a CS student, but I just hate programming :) ) |

But since I'm a nice guy and know how to use Google :p
polymorphism
In object-oriented programming, the term is used to describe a variable that may refer to objects whose class is not known at compile time and which respond at run time according to the actual class of the object to which they refer.
abstraction
1. Generalisation; ignoring or hiding details to capture some kind of commonality between different instances. Examples are abstract data types (the representation details are hidden), abstract syntax (the details of the concrete syntax are ignored), abstract interpretation (details are ignored to analyse specific properties).
2. Parameterisation, making something a function of something else. Examples are lambda abstractions (making a term into a function of some variable), higher-order functions (parameters are functions), bracket abstraction (making a term into a function of a variable).
good site for this:
