- (“Static” means unchanging).
- Considered safer due to reporting errors during compilation
4
Q
Dynamically Typed Languages
A
- A variable’s type may change while a program executes, usually based on what is assigned to the variable.
- Considered easier to use when types need to change, requiring less converting or fewer variables.
5
