Hello Everyone, I'm currently doing an assignment for one of my classes, and in it, I have to give examples, using Java syntax, of *static* and *dynamic binding*. I am lost while understanding the work process.
I understand the basic concept, that static binding happens at compile time and dynamic binding happens at runtime, but I can't figure out how they actually work specifically.
I found an example of static binding online that gives this example and running the program on interviewbit.
public static void callEat(Animal animal) {
System.out.println("Animal is eating");
}
public static void callEat(Dog dog) {
System.out.println("Dog is eating");
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
Animal a = new Dog();
callEat(a);
}
And that this would print "animal is eating" because *the call to `callEat` uses static binding* , but I'm unsure as to *why* this is considered static binding.
So far none of the sources I've seen have managed to explain this in a way that I can follow. Can anyone suggest me?
