Binding

Question 1

is an association between an attribute and an entity such as between a variable and its type or value, or between an operation and a symbol

Answer 1

binding

Question 2

Binding can take place at any of the following:

Answer 2

1. Language design time
2. Language implementation time
3. Compile time
4. Load time
5. Link time
6. Run time

Question 3

A binding is … if it occurs before run time begins and remains unchanged throughout program execution

Answer 3

static

Question 4

A binding is … if it occurs during run time or can change in the course of program execution

Answer 4

dynamic

Question 5

is a statement in a program that lists variable names and specifies that they are a particular type

Answer 5

explicit declaration

Question 6

is a means of associating variables with types through default conventions, rather than declaration statements

Answer 6

implicit declaration

Question 7

the variable is bound to the type of the value of the expression on the right side of the statement

Answer 7

dynamic type binding

Question 8

is the process of taking the memory cell to which a variable is bound from a pool of available memory.

Answer 8

Allocation

Question 9

is the process of placing a memory cell that has been unbound from a variable back into the pool of available memory

Answer 9

Deallocation

Question 10

of a variable is the time during the variable is bound to a specific memory location

Answer 10

lifetime

Question 11

are those bound to memory cells before program execution begins and remain bound to those same memory cells until program execution terminates

Answer 11

Static variables

Question 12

are those whose storage bindings are created when their declaration statements are elaborated, but whose types are statistically bound

Answer 12

Stack-dynamic variables

Question 13

of such a declaration refers to the storage allocation and binding process indicated by the declaration, which takes place when execution reaches the code which the declaration is attached.

Answer 13

Elaboration

Question 14

are nameless (abstract) memory cells that are allocated and deallocated by explicit run time instructions written by the programmer

Answer 14

Explicit heap-dynamic variables

Question 15

are bound to heap storage only when they are assigned values. All their attributes are bound every time they are assigned

Answer 15

Implicit heap-dynamic variables
