RE: Dynamic Binding
While generating the binary executable a compiler have two options:

1. It can include the helper libraries (third party libraries for example) with the exe file in binary form which increases the size of the final exe but the exe file can run on its own without needing any more libraries to be included by the end user/client.

2. These libraries are included on run time by the end user as DLLs. Advantage is that the final size of the shipped exe file is small. On run time these DLLs are dynamically linked to the exe file.
