What exactly does that mean in reference to CS and coding?

501 PointsYou can use the term "dynamical" for many things in coding. First of all, I can say a very dumb basic description, dynamicaly is the opposite of statical. Imagine a web-page with content which never changes, that content is static. If content changes frequently, that's dynamic content. I hope it helps a bit!

3,616 PointsDynamic means that it can change. For example: Dynamic content on a "to-do" app. Your list can change by adding or removing entries. Another example is your Facebook feed. Content keeps being added and removed as you scroll through your feed.
"Static" is the opposite. An example: A web page showing a restaurant menu. Although this can be changed, you'd have to code it manually to change it. Another example of a static website is a simple "About Page" where the content doesn't change.
