(d) Differentiate between static and dynamic binding in Python? Give suitable 2
examples of each.
Ans Static Binding: It allows linking of function call to the function definition during
compilation of the program.

Dynamic Binding: It allows linking of a function during run time. That means the
code of the function that is to be linked with function call is unknown until it is
executed. Dynamic binding of functions makes the programs more flexible.

angled triangle as ​0.5#Base#Height​.

Ans def Area(R):

print 3.14*R*R
def Area(B,H):
print 0.5*B*H
Note: Python does not support function overloading “​as illustrated in
the example shown above​”. If you run the code, the second Area(B,H)
definition will overide the first one.
