C++ Programming - OOPS Concepts - Discussion

Can any one explain what is dynamic loading?

Can anyone clearly explain dynamic loading?

Dynamic means multiple so we want to insert any external components inside the program just we use this concept.

Can any one explain How can we use concept of dynamic loading ?

Dynamic loading is a mechanism by which a computer program can, at run time, load a library (or other binary) into memory, retrieve the addresses of functions and variables contained in the library, execute those functions or access those variables, and unload the library from memory.

Why not dynamic binding ? what's the difference between the two ?

Difference between dynamic binding and dynamic loading?

Can someone provide a programming example with dynamic loading?

In OOPs Dynamic Binding refers to linking a procedure call to the code that will be executed only at run time. The code associated with the procedure in not known until the program is executed, which is also known as late binding.

Dynamic loading is a mechanism by which a computer program can, at run time, load a library (or other binary) into memory, retrieve the addresses of functions and variables contained in the library, execute those functions or access those variables, and unload the library from memory. Unlike static linking and loadtime linking, this mechanism allows a computer program to startup in the absence of these libraries, to discover available libraries, and to potentially gain additional functionality.

Dynamic doesn't mean "multiple", it comes from Greek(movement).

It's something done during the program is "moving", while it's working, running.
