What are some real-world examples of dynamic binding?

Can you give me some real-world examples of dynamic binding?

Sure! Dynamic binding is commonly used in programming languages like Java and C#. For instance, in Java, method overriding allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass.

That's interesting! Can you explain how it works in Java?

Absolutely! In Java, when you call a method on an object, the JVM determines which method to execute at runtime based on the object's actual class, not the reference type. This is dynamic binding.

Are there other programming languages that use dynamic binding?

Yes, many languages like Python and Ruby also support dynamic binding. In Python, for example, you can override methods in subclasses, and the correct method is called based on the object's type at runtime.

Can you provide an example in Python?

Certainly! In Python, if you have a base class Animal with a method speak, and a subclass Dog that overrides speak, calling speak on an instance of Dog will invoke the overridden method.
