• Name resolution depending on the program state when the name is encountered, which is determined by the execution context (also called runtime context, calling context, or dynamic context). In dynamic scope, if a variable name’s scope is a certain function, then its scope is the time period during which the function is executing; while the function is running, the variable name exists, and is bound to its value, but after the function returns, the variable name does not exist. ← Wikipedia
