In programming languages, name binding is the association of entities (data and/or code) with identifiers.
An identifier bound to an object is said to reference that object.
Machine languages have no built-in notion of identifiers, but name-object bindings as a service and notation for the programmer is implemented by programming languages.
Name binding and scope
Binding is intimately connected with scope, as scope determines which names bind to which objects -- at which locations in the program code (lexically) and in which one of the possible execution paths (temporally).
