Late binding
NAME BINDING WHICH IS RESOLVED AT RUN-TIME RATHER THAN IN PRE-EXECUTION TIME
Dynamic binding (computer science); Dynamic binding (computing); Late-binding; Late bound
In computing, late binding or dynamic linkage—though not an identical process to dynamically linking imported code libraries—is a computer programming mechanism in which the method being called upon an object, or the function being called with arguments, is looked up by name at runtime. In other words, a name is associated with a particular operation or object at runtime, rather than during compilation.
