    Dynamic binding refers to resolving method calls at runtime rather than compile time. Static binding resolves calls at compile time using the compile time type. Instance method calls are dynamically bound and resolved at runtime, while static method calls are statically bound and resolved at compile time since they are accessed through the class name rather than object references.

    Dynamic Binding

    Dynamic Binding refers to the case where compiler is not able to resolve the call and the binding is done at runtime only. Static Binding or Early Binding If the compiler can resolve the binding at the compile time only then such a binding is called Static Binding or Early Binding. All the instance method calls are always resolved at runtime, but all the static method calls are resolved at compile time itself and hence we have static binding for static method calls. Because static methods are class methods and hence they can be accessed using the class name itself (in fact they are encourgaed to be used using their corresponding class names only and not by using the object references) and therefore access to them is required to be resolved during compile time only using the compile time type information. That's the reason why static methods can not actually be overriden.
