What is the difference between static and dynamic scoping in programming?

MagicBuddy

Static scoping, or lexical scoping, determines variable scope at compile time, while dynamic scoping determines it at runtime.

Can you give me an example of each?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Sure! In static scoping, a variable defined in a function is accessible only within that function and its nested functions. In dynamic scoping, a variable can be accessed by any function that is called after it is defined, regardless of where it is defined.
