Dynamic binding of virtual functions in C++

Suppose there is a derived class with a redefined function called print. Now I am accessing the derived class object using a base class pointer p.

Example 1.print() is a virtual function.

p->print() is called.This prints the derived class functionality at dynamic binding.

Example 2. print() is not a virtual function

p->print() is called. This prints the base class functionality. But my question is whether this is static binding or still dynamic binding?

It would generally be considered static binding because which function is called is known and fully determined at compile time.
