dynamic binding (9 facts) (late binding, virtual binding) - A mechanism by which, when the compiler can't determine which method implementation to use in advance, the runtime system (JVM) selects the appropriate method at runtime, based on the class of the object, The process of binding a call to a particular method. This is performed dynamically at run-time due to the presence of polymorphism
