Static/Dynamic Data Typing Static vs. Dynamic defines how a language expects you to declare data types. Static typed languages require explicit definition of a data type when they create a piece of data (e.g. variable, parameter, return value). Dynamic languages are the opposite and can infer, or at least try to guess, Simply put it this way: the type that we’re using. in a statically typed Static/Dynamic Typing is about when type information is acquired: either at compile time or at List of statically and runtime dynamically typed languages: Statically: • Java • C • C++ • C# Dynamically: • PERL • PHP • Python • JavaScript • Ruby Dynamic typing means that the types of values are checked during execution, and a poorly typed operation might cause the program to halt or otherwise signal an error at run time. A primary reason for static typing is to rule out programs that Introduction to Data Types: Static, Dynamic, Strong & Weak — SitePoint language the type is static, meaning once you set a variable to a type, you CANNOT Dynamic typing is change it. with the value associated rather than the variable.
