Can you explain what the term 'dynamic' means in the context of programming?

In programming, the term dynamic usually means that the data type or behavior is determined at runtime rather than at compile time. In the Dart language (used in Flutter), dynamic is a special type that allows a variable to accept values of any type without strict type checking by the compiler.

For example:

dynamic variable = 10; // currently an int
variable = 'text';    // now a String

Using dynamic is convenient when the data type is unknown in advance or can change, but it sacrifices type safety and IDE autocompletion. Therefore, it is recommended to use dynamic consciously and only when necessary.
