Beginner question: What is binding?
- by JDelage
Hi,
I was trying to understand the difference between early and late binding, and in the process realized that the concept of binding is nebulous to me. I think I understand that it relates to the way data-as-a-word-of-memory is linked to type-as-a-set-of-language-features but I am not sure those are the right concepts. Also, how does understanding this deeply help people become better programmers?
Please note: This question is not "what is late v. early binding" or "what are the trade-offs between the 2". Those already exist here.
Thanks,
JDelage
