In computer science, binding is associating objects and implementations with names in programming language so that those objects and implementtions can be accessed by the names. Objects' names are said to be "bound" to them.Deep binding and shallow bindings are not kinds of binding, but ways to implement binding.
The simplest example is defining subprograms:
def sum (x, y)x + yendsum (2, 3)
In this Ruby programming language code, an implementation returning the sum of given two inputs is bound to a name,
sum.
Binding time
Because objects in computer programs are usually resident in the computer memory, binding time is almost the same as the time of allocation of memory space for objects. Bind can be done either at compile-time or link-time (static binding) or at run-time (dynamic binding). Also, scope rules might define binding time of objects. Local variables, for example, are usually bound at run-time while global variables at compile-time.
For example,
static int n; int main () {n = 12; return n;}In this C code, a global variable n is bound to certain location in the memory of the computer.
Dynamic binding for polymorphism
In object-oriented programming, an object can respond to the same message with a different implementation. Dynamic binding is a common solution for this problem.For example there may be an object that contains the name (data) 'Socrates', and which is of the class (or type) Person.
Now suppose all Persons are mortal. In object oriented programming, we can say that the Person class must implement the Mortal interface, which contains the method die().
Persons and Plants die in different ways, for example Plants don't stop breathing. Dynamic binding is the practice of figuring out which method to invoke at runtime. For example, if we write
void kill(Mortal m) { m.die(); }it's not clear whether m is a Person or a Plant, and thus whether Plant.die() or Person.die() should be invoked on the object. With dynamic binding, the m object is examined at runtime, and the method corresponding to it's actual class is invoked. (This implies that the actual representation of an object in memory is just its data and doesn't include the methods.)

The binding knot may possess either of two possible fundamental mechanical properties by which they function:
Bindng knots may be used to bind an individual object or a load made of multiple loose objects.
- Friction Type: These binding knots pass at least once around a load and are held in place by the friction caused between the windings of the line that pass over top of other winding.
- Knotted Ends Type: These binding knots pass at least once around a load and are held in place by the two ends of the line being knotted together.
Whipping and Seizing are classified differently from Binding knots since they contain many turns like a lashing despite serving a similar function to a Binding knot.

In skiing, a ski binding is an attachment which anchors the ski boot to the ski. Such bindings exist in several variations:
- The cable binding (aka Kandahar binding), where the toe section of the boot is anchored, and an adjustable cable around the heel (for which there is a groove in the heel of the shoe) securs the boot. Used for cross-country (to a certain extent), Telemark and ski jumping.
- The Rottefella (from the Norwegian word for rat trap), where a lip at the toe section of the boot is clamped to the ski. Used for cross-country skiing.
- The NNN (New Nordic Norm), where a bar in the toe of the shoe is hooked into a catch in the binding. Used for cross-country skiing. Also exists in the more rugged BC (Back Country) variant.
- The Alpine safety binding, where the shoe is firmly clamped to the ski at the toe and the heel, but to prevent damage, a mechanism yields if the forces at the binding points are over a certain preset value. Used for Alpine skiing.

Stare decisis is a Latin term used in common law to express the notion that prior court decisions must be recognized as precedents, according to case law. The term means: "let the decision stand". This doctrine is not held within most civil law jurisdictions as it is argued that this prinicple interferes with the right of judges to interpret law and the right of the legislature to make law. Most such systems, however, recognize the concept of jurisprudence constante, which argues that even though judges are independent, they should rule in a predictable and non-chaotic manner.
In general, a common law court system has trial courts, intermediate appellate courts and a supreme court. The lower courts administer most day-to-day justice. The lower courts are bound to follow precedents established by the appellate court for their region and the supreme court. Appellate courts are only bound to follow supreme court decisions. The application of the doctrine of stare decisis from a higher court to a lower court is sometimes called vertical stare decisis.
A supreme court is not bound by any lower precedent and, today in most jurisdictions, a court of last resort may overturn its own precedents if warranted; see the Practice Statement made by the House of Lords, a well known example of such principle in Commonwealth countries. Stare decisis nonetheless operates in a supreme court as a discretionary principle by which the court will not overturn its own precedents in the absence of a strong reason to do so, in order to foster predictability of the law.
In the United States federal court system, the intermediate appellate courts are divided into "circuits". Each panel of judges on the court of appeals for a circuit is bound to follow the prior appellate decisions of the same circuit. Precedents of a United States court of appeals may be overruled only by the court en banc, that is, a session of all the active appellate judges of the circuit, or by the United States Supreme Court. When a court binds itself, this application of the doctrine of precedent is sometimes called horizontal stare decisis. The State of New York has a similar appellate structure as it is divided into four appellate departments supervised by the final New York State Court of Appeals. Decisions of one appellate department are not binding upon another, and in some cases the departments differ considerably on basic points of law.
And while lower courts are bound in theory by higher court precedent, in practice judges may sometimes attempt to evade precedents, by distinguishing them on spurious grounds. The appeal of a decision that does not follow precedent may also not occur as the expense of an appeal may prevent the losing party from doing so and thus the lower court decision may stand even though it does not follow the higher court decision as the only way a decision can enter the appeal process is by application of one of the parties bound by it.
Stare decisis also occasionally results in court decisions in which the judge explicitly states personal disagreement with the judgment he or she has rendered but that he or she is required to do so by binding precedent.
In the United States, stare decisis can interact in non-intuitive ways with the federal and state court systems. On an issue of federal law, a state court is not bound by an interpretation of federal law at the district or circuit level, but is bound by an interpretation by the United States Supreme Court. On an interpretation of state law, whether common law or statutory law, the federal courts are bound by the interpretation of a state court of last resort, and are normally required defer to the precedents of intermediate state courts as well.
Courts may choose to follow precedents of other jurisdictions, but this is not an application of the doctrine of stare decisis, because foreign decisions are not binding. Rather, a foreign decision that is followed on the basis of the soundness of its reasoning will be called persuasive authority--indicating that its effect is limited to the persuasiveness of the reasons it provides.
Stare decisis is not usually a doctrine used in civil law court system, because it violates the principle that only the legislature may make law. In theory therefore, lower courts are generally not bound to precedents established by higher courts. In practice, the need to have predictability means that lower courts generally defer to precedents by higher courts and in a sense, the highest courts in civil law jurisdictions, such as the Cour de cassation and the Conseil d'État in France are recognized as being bodies of a quasi-legislative nature.
The doctrine of stare decisis also influences how court decisions are structured. In general, court decisions in common law jurisdictions are extremely wordy and go into great detail as to the how the decision was reached. This occurs to justify a court decision on the basis of previous case law as well as to make it easier to use the decision as a precedent in future cases. By contrast, court decisions in civil law jurisdictions tend to be extremely brief, mentioning only the relevant legislation and not going into great detail about how a decision was reached. This is the result of the civil law view that the court is only interpreting the view of the legislature and that detailed exposition is unnecessary. Because of this, much more of the exposition of the law in civil law nations is done by academic jurists which provide the explanations that in common law nations would be provided by the judges themselves.
There is much discussion about the virtue and irrationality of using case law under such a system. Supporters of the system argue that it makes decisions predictable, that is, a business person can be assured of the same decision in the same sort of case. The argument most often used against the system is that it is undemocratic as it allows unelected judges to make law.

In classical two-valued logic, an argument is said to have validity or to be valid if, and only if, it is the case that, if the premises of the argument are true, then the conclusion must be true. In other words, a valid argument is one where the premises make the conclusion true. There are many other ways to formulate this basic definition: the premises entail the conclusion; it cannot be the case both that the premises are true and the conclusion false; the falsehood of the conclusion entails the falsehood of at least one premise; etc.A close examination of the definition of 'valid' should make a few things clear about validity. The definition says neither that the premises have to be true nor that that the conclusion has to be true. Validity is a conditional notion: what it says is that if the premises happen to be true, then the conclusion has to be true. As far as validity is concerned the premises might be completely and obviously false. Consider an example of a valid argument:
Bear in mind that 'valid' is a technical term in logic: this is a perfectly valid argument. What does that mean, in this example? Something like this: suppose it were true that all dogs had eight legs; and suppose, just suppose, that the President really were a dog; well, in that absurd imaginary world, the President would have to have eight legs. The conclusion has to be true, if the premises are true. So the argument is valid, even though it has false premises, not to mention a false conclusion.
- All dogs have eight legs.
- The President is a dog.
- Therefore, the President has eight legs.
Validity is not to be confused with soundness; a sound argument is not only valid, its premises are true as well. Not all valid arguments are valid in the loose and popular sense of this word, meaning 'good': not all valid arguments (valid, as this term is used in logic) are good, or successful, as the above example should show.
Argument form is what makes an argument valid. But a valid argument is one where, if the premises are true, then the conclusion must be true (and here is a way to put it more briefly: the premises make the conclusion necessary). Now put these two propositions together and draw a conclusion:
One can see whether the premises make the conclusion necessary just by looking at the form of the argument. That is why argument form is so important. Look, for example, at the following argument form. In fact, any argument that follows this form is valid. You can see that just by reading it:
- Form makes an argument valid.
- If an argument is valid, then the premises make the conclusion necessary.
- Form makes an argument such that the premises make the conclusion necessary.
Now examine the following argument. It fits that form and is (therefore) valid:
- All S is P.
- a is S.
- Therefore, a is P.
In law, validity means the legal existence of a norm. A norm that is authorized by another norm is said to exist in that legal system, i.e., to be valid.
- All dogs are canines.
- Fido is a dog.
- Therefore, Fido is a canine.
In psychometrics, a valid measure is one that measures what it is supposed to measure. For example, a valid measure of mathematical problem-solving measures mathematical ability rather than the verbal ability necessary to understand complicated statements of mathematical problems. See Validity (psychometric).
