Answer / achal ubbott
Above answers are correct. In case of Dynamic Library your
executable will look up for the code at run time. E.g. when
running some exe it looks for help from some .dll files
provided by windows operating system. So we call this
dynamic linking.

Answer / dinesh
The static linked library causes the corresponding information from libraries to be included in the executable DLL on the other hand inserts virtual address of memory. Thus the size of static linked file is larger than a static linked file. If we use dynamic linking the updates in library will also be effect the behavior of the file while not in static linking. Due to this reason dll is better but it can also sometimes make the program faulty due to library update.

Answer / pushpalatha
Dynamic linking differs from static linking in that it
allows an executable module (either a .dll or .exe file) to
include only the information needed at run time to locate
the executable code for a DLL function. In static linking,
the linker gets all of the referenced functions from the
static link library and places it with your code into your
executable.
Using dynamic linking instead of static linking offers
several advantages. DLLs save memory, reduce swapping, save
disk space, upgrade easier, provide after-market support,
provide a mechanism to extend the MFC library classes,
support multilanguage programs, and ease the creation of
international versions.
