Computer Science / Unit 5 CS 0251 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Loader and the Libraries
Captions available
The idea
A finished executable still needs the loader — the operating system part that places it into memory arranged for execution — with static libraries linked at build time and dynamic libraries joined while running.
In practice
An app icon's tap triggers a move-in, not a construction project.
Where people slip
Borrowed code arrives at two different moments.
