Flashcards
Dynamically typed
Dynamically typed
A language where the type of an expression is resolved at runtime, meaning the code does not need to be explicitly typed.
Type
Type
A set of values with specific operations that can be performed on them. For example, integers, floats, and booleans.
Statically typed
Statically typed
A language where the type of an expression is checked before the program runs, ensuring type safety.

Study Notes
Software Analysis
- Software analysis aims to identify unintended behaviors, even if a program is technically correct. It considers contextual information.
- Static analysis examines the source code without running the program.
- Dynamic analysis executes the program to analyze its behavior.
Static Analysis
- The program needs translation into an intermediate representation.
- A control flow graph is built from the representation, but the intermediate representation doesn't include all possible program states.
Dynamic Analysis
- A control flow graph can quickly become complex.
- Dynamic analysis executes the program with different inputs to track the values of variables.
Explicit Information Flow
- Explicit flow occurs when information is copied or used in direct operations, like assigning a value.
- Consider example involving integer variables, assignments & calculations.
Implicit Information Flow
- Implicit flow is deduced from program behavior or variable values.
- If the program terminates, it might be possible to deduce the sign of a variable.
- The execution time can also convey information, even if the program ultimately finishes.
- An exception thrown reveals information about variables.
Java vs. Python
- Java uses static typing, meaning variable types are known at compile time.
- Python is dynamically typed, with type determination occurring at runtime.
- Java requires semicolons at statement endings and uses curly braces around code blocks.
- In Java, operators can be infix (between operands), prefix (before an operand), or postfix (after an operand).
Types in Java
- Java supports primitive types like
boolean,byte,short,int,long,float,double, andchar. - Operations on these types are functions.
- Operators and methods work on objects.
- There are pre-defined functions in Java.
