what is linking?

Answer 1

a link to a website like say I typed "here" it would most likely be a different coulor than black and clicking on it would take me to another website

Answer 2

There are several types of linking in programming...

If you are talking about the Internet.. a link would be a bit of text typed in here that when you click it would take you to another URL such as my own website http://www.tom-olsen.com/links.html where it is normally set apart by a different color and sometimes underlining. You just click it to go to the link...

If you are talking about linking in programming then it is the GoSub command and the Return to link in a subroutine, in other programming languages it may look like TPCR/RTN, CALL/RETURN, etc... When all of this is compiled and linked it becomes one large .exe file from several smaller source code files.

Answer 3

linking is like staying at one place and take a round to others places and coming back if you wish to. Like we do in net surfing, go to pages and come back to the home page. The subsequent pages are linked to the home page or the home page might provide links for external sources.

Answer 4

Linking, with respect to programming, is the process where object modules are connected together (linked) to form one large program. That is, if you have three source code files called myprogram.c, searchfunction.c, and printreport.c, you would compile them separately into myprogram.obj, searchfunction.obj, and printreport.obj. The linker with take the object modules, along with any library code that needs to be included, and create one .exe file, resolving external variables and function calls.

Answer 5

Linking is a part of compilation.for example you write a program in C and you include a headerfile say , this header file contains many inbuilt functions like printf etc and while your program is getting compiled a linker links the code of header file function of printf to your program... linking is somewhat like this ...

Answer 6

link commonly known as connect two different thinks.

link two different websites etc .if u write a program,in that program u call some function,that function is present in another program means than this calling program is connected to the called program.this is also called linking.
