Learn the Static binding and Dynamic binding in Java:-
Connecting a method call to the method body is known as binding.
Binding as Two types
Static Binding (also known as Early Binding).
Dynamic Binding (also known as Late Binding).
Static Binding:
When type of the object is determined at compiled time(by the compiler), it is known as static binding.
If there is any private, final or static method in a class, there is static binding.
Example of static binding
class Dog{
private void eat(){System.out.println(“dog is eating…”);}
public static void main(String args[]){
Dog d1=new Dog();
d1.eat();
}
}
Dynamic Binding:
When type of the object is determined at run-time, it is known as dynamic binding.
Example of dynamic binding
class Animal{
void eat(){System.out.println(“animal is eating…”);}
}
class Dog extends Animal{
void eat(){System.out.println(“dog is eating…”);}
public static void main(String args[]){
Animal a=new Dog();
a.eat();
}
}
