Shallow and Deep binding for referencing environment of subprograms

that have been passed as parameters:

Shallow binding:

The call statement's environment, which executes the given subprogram is called shallow binding.

Deep binding:

The environment in which the passed subprogram is defined as deep binding.

• The subprogram that declares a subprogram may also go through that subprogram as a parameter in some cases.
• Deep binding and ad hoc binding are interchangeable in those situations.
