Static library is the one when you link that with your executable it gets bundled along with it and the excutable size will be more.

Dynamic library is the one in which the library is only linked and during execution also it is only linked and if u are running more than one executable which uses the shared library then there will be only one copy of it in memory and all executables will only have a link to it

The dynamic library allows you to choose the function to call at run time. A static library requires the function to be known at compile time.
