Statically Typed Languages
Require variables to be explicitly defined with a type at compile time
- Examples:
- Java
- C++
- Rust
- Benefits
- Early error detection
- Performance optimizations
Dynamically Typed Languages
Determine variable types at runtime
- Examples
- Python
- JavaScript
- Ruby
- Benefits
- More flexibility
- Faster prototyping
- Less boilerplate code
Strongly Typed Languages
Languages that enforce strict type rules and do not allow implicit type conversions
- Examples:
- Python (to some extent)
- Haskell
- Benefits
- Reduces runtime errors
- Can require more explicit code
Weakly Typed Languages
Allow implicit type conversions and are more lenient with type rules
- Examples:
- JavaScript
- PHP
- Unexpected behavior
- Allows for more flexible coding
