Also, we will discuss the feature wise difference\u00a0between static binding and dynamic binding in <strong>Java Programming Language<\/strong>. Moreover, we will go through the static binding definition and definition of a dynamic binding in Java. Along with this, we will\u00a0see an\u00a0example of static binding vs dynamic binding in Java.<\/p>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s start a comparison\u00a0of Static Binding vs Dynamic Binding in Java.<\/p>\n<h3>Static Binding Vs Dynamic Binding in Java<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Static Binding in Java<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this static binding, the binding can resolve at runtime or compile time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The binding process of all static, final and private methods is done at compile time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>It occurs during the compile time.<\/li>\n<li>The error is found after the compile time<\/li>\n<li>Static binding takes less time for processing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Example &#8211;<\/strong> static binding is performed during method overloading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Dynamic binding in Java\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Overriding in Java<\/strong> can be considered as the best example of dynamic binding as both parent and child class have the same method, that is it doesn\u2019t decide the method to be called.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It occurs during the run time of the program.<\/li>\n<li>Error is detected during the execution of a program.<\/li>\n<li>Dynamic binding takes more time as it resolves during the runtime.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Example &#8211;<\/strong> dynamic binding is processed during method overriding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is Static Binding in Java?<\/h3>\n<p>Binding of static, final and private methods is always a static binding because a static binding gives better performance and they cannot be overridden and hence will always be accessed by the <strong>object<\/strong> of some local class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example of static binding in java\u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">public class NewClass\r\n{\r\n   public static class superclass\r\n   {\r\n       static void print()\r\n       {\r\n           System.out.println(\"print in superclass.\");\r\n       }\r\n   }\r\n   public static class subclass extends superclass\r\n   {\r\n       static void print()\r\n       {\r\n           System.out.println(\"print in subclass.\");\r\n       }\r\n   }\r\n   public static void main(String[] args)\r\n   {\r\n       superclass A = new superclass();\r\n       superclass B = new subclass();\r\n       A.print();\r\n       B.print();\r\n   }\r\n}<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Output \u2013<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Print in superclass.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Print in superclass.<\/span><br \/>\nIn the example above both cases give the same result because \u2013<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The reference here for subclass and superclass is same, that is a single object.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since it cannot be overridden in a subclass, i.e. the superclass and compiler know it and so there is no ambiguity.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is Dynamic Binding in Java?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Example of dynamic binding \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">public class NewClass\r\n{\r\n   public static class superclass\r\n   {\r\n       void print()\r\n       {\r\n           System.out.println(\"print in superclass.\");\r\n       }\r\n   }\r\n   public static class subclass extends superclass\r\n   {\r\n       @Override\r\n       void print()\r\n       {\r\n           System.out.println(\"print in subclass.\");\r\n       }\r\n   }\r\n   public static void main(String[] args)\r\n   {\r\n       superclass A = new superclass();\r\n       superclass B = new subclass();\r\n       A.print();\r\n       B.print();\r\n   }\r\n}<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Output \u2013<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Print in superclass.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Print in subclass.<\/span><br \/>\nThe output differs because \u2013<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Methods here are not static.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amid Binding, the compiler has no clue as to which print must be called since compiler goes just by referencing <strong>variable<\/strong> not by kind of object and along these lines the binding would be deferred to runtime and in this way the comparing adaptation of print will be called in view of a sort on the question.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Essential Points for Static Binding vs Dynamic Binding<\/h3>\n<p>Here, we will discuss some important points related to Static vs Dynamic Binding in Java:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Private, last and static individuals utilize static authoritative while for virtual techniques restricting finish amid runtime in view of runtime object. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Static binding in Java uses type data for official while Dynamic binding in Java restricting uses objects to determine to bind. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overloaded methods are settled utilizing static binding while overridden methods utilizing dynamic binding, i.e, at runtime.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, this was all about Static Binding vs Dynamic Binding in Java. Hope you like our explanation.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>In this tutorial we learned about the static vs dynamic binding, their difference and important points to remember.
