Does the C standard library funcions load dynamically...or do they get linked at compilation time...(statically linked).

All header files that are included at that top of a program are input at compile time. #include is essentially saying: 'here is the location of some code, replace this line with the code in the file'. Just like #define, #include replaces <stdlib.h> with all of the code in stdlib and compiles it into your program.
So the simple answer would be: statically linked, since the libraries are a physical part of the executable when compilation is finished.

My best code is written with the delete key.
