variable binding

Variable binding is the process of assigning a specific value or reference to a variable in programming. Think of a variable as a labeled container; binding is like putting a particular item into that container and giving it a name. Once bound, the variable can be used to access or manipulate the stored value throughout the program. Binding helps organize and manage data efficiently, allowing the program to keep track of information dynamically. It can change over time, binding to new values as needed or unbinding when the data is no longer relevant.
