Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 13,116 PointsWhat does "dynamically" mean? Is it the same thing as "at run time"?
How's it going? :) I'm just wondering what is meant by this word "dynamically" and also what is meant when people say "at run time."
I've seen these two words used in different ways.
When some instructions was talking about a web page that would have certain items that would be created "at run time." I'm not sure if they used the word "dynamically" here as well but they might have.
I have also seen dynamically used when talking about arrays. Some instructions said that arrays that can grow and shrink are dynamic.
And also about some links. Check out this quote having to do with something called pagination: Since the pagination links are being generated dynamically, it's important to be mindful of when and where you add functionality to the buttons, because if the code that adds the functionality runs before the buttons are created, then the buttons won't have any of the intended functionality.
So I'm just wondering what these two things mean. Thank you :)
