Chapter 5, Problem 10RQ
Explanation of Solution
Advantages of Dynamic type binding:
- The characteristics of dynamic type binding are that the type of variable is generally, not specified by a declaration statement and the type of a variable cannot be determined by the spelling of the identifier name.
- The variable is bound to the type of value at the right hand side of the assignment while the assignment statement is being executed.
- An important property of dynamic type binding is that any variable can be assigned a value of any type...
