Binding of data and functions is related to when a function gets memory addresses and when a function knows which data it will operate on.

There are two types of bindings:

  1. static or compile time binding -- done in case of non-virtual functions. The function is always bound to the data type of the pointer or reference that is referring to the object.
  2. runtime or dynamic binding -- done in case of virtual functions. The function is bound at runtime to the data type of the object referred to by the pointer or the reference.
