Dynamic loading
Hi kiddo! Have you ever played with LEGOs before? Imagine you have a big box of LEGOs, and you want to build a castle. But instead of taking out all the LEGOs at once, you just take out the ones you need as you build. That's kind of like how dynamic loading works!
When someone makes a computer program, it's usually made up of different pieces that all work together, like LEGO bricks. If the program is really big and has a lot of pieces, it can take a long time to load up every single piece at once. That's where dynamic loading comes in.
Instead of loading everything all at once, the computer program only loads up the pieces it needs right away. Then, as you use the program, it will load up more and more pieces as they're needed. Think of it like building a LEGO castle - you only need certain bricks to make the first few walls, and then as you build higher and higher, you grab more bricks from the box as you go.
This is helpful for a few reasons! First of all, it makes the program load up faster when you first open it. You don't have to wait as long for everything to load up. Second, it uses less memory on your computer. If the program loaded up every single piece at once, it would take up a lot of space in your computer's memory!
So that's how dynamic loading works! It's kind of like building with LEGOs - you only take out the pieces you need as you go along, instead of taking everything out at once.
