That's my paid job :- — Norman Ramsey. Chris: I've never seen a dynamically typed language with 'loophole'.
The common use of loophole is to work with a run-time system or OS, e. You could do this in a dynamic setting but I don't know of any attempts. NormanRamsey I think that Chris was referring with his question to: whereas "weakly typed" means "there are loopholes in the type system — Nir Alfasi. Show 4 more comments.

Nice answer, although "typecasts A typecast is not like shutting off a warning, it actually changes the interpretation of the value being referenced. You're confusing "static" and "strong" in relation to typing.
These two concepts are independent of each other. Add a comment. C is strongly typed, types are very valid and the compiler will barf if you get them wrong, however, C also provides features for you to bypass this.
Compare to languages like BCPL that only have a 'byte' type. Weakly typed doesn't mean a language doesn't have any types, it just means that types can be implicitly coerced from one type to another.
Compare to Python, a strongly typed language in which you must explicitly convert types with function calls. I have this doubt for like forever — Suraj Jain. So: Languages that specify what happens at runtime in every case like adding a number to a string are called dynamically typed.

However, I'm not sure I get your point about statically typed systems stopping divide by zero. If my statically typed int gets a value from the user or command line arguments or a file, there's nothing the compiler can do to stop that being a zero! There are static type systems that prevent this, but most languages are either weakly or dynamically "typed" with respect to division by zero, because it's undefined behaviour C or they throw an exception Java.
C is more strongly typed than Javascript and less strongly typed than Ada. How's that for definitive? Michael Burr Michael Burr k 49 49 gold badges silver badges bronze badges.
It was a somewhat tongue-in-cheek answer. But do elaborate on the wrongness. Javascript is strongly typed. It just isn't statically typed. All type checks occur at runtime dynamic, not static but they do occur and the do prevent you from corrupting memory one aspect of strong typing. Well, as Norm Ramsey's very good answer indicates, "strongly typed" and "weakly typed" are not particularly well defined terms.
But it is considered weakly typed because the types can be flip flopped. What is 0? Cervo Cervo 3, 1 1 gold badge 22 22 silver badges 27 27 bronze badges. Please explain your reasoning that Perl is less strongly typed than C.
It is still pretty weak, but a bit stronger then perl. Still it is a bit stronger of a type check than Perl so on the continuum I have to say C is more strongly typed than Perl. But it is an error to just do it. Following lines are from the book The C programming language page 3 paragraph 5 C is not a strongly-typed language, but as it has evolved, its type checking has been strengthened. C just has assembler "embedded" in it with raw pointers and such.
I disagree. You do realize the irony of trying to disprove the assertion that there is no agreed-upon definition by introducing yet another definition, right? Jorg: Not trying to introduce another one; just stating the one commonly used in the circles in which I move. Not strongly typed. Consider what the following function prototype tells you about the data types of the arguments: void func int n, char ch, So I suggest that strong typing does not apply here. It tell's you there's an int, followed by a char, followed by any number of arguments of any type.
That's not "nothing". It's true that the type of the function itself is know. That's what Software Monkey said. Those "any number of arguments of any type" are what I'm talking about. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. BobbyShaftoe BobbyShaftoe Mostly curiosity, but I am applying for a C position, and wanted to know in case they quiz me about it.
Then probably the longer answer which gives the nuances of what "strongly typed" is the best approach rather than just saying "yes" or "no. Robert Gamble Robert Gamble There is an official def. It says that a sys. Example: ML, Haskell. This is useful to make the system omit type tags inside objects, and however apply the operators on correct types. Because we know before execution that there is no need of tags in objects. Because C has cast and pointer access to arbitrary memo, C is not s.
This answer is excessively short given the question. What isn't? My definition of strongly typed or C? Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Java is a statically-typed language. In a weakly typed language, variables can be implicitly coerced to unrelated types, whereas in a strongly typed language they cannot, and an explicit conversion is required.
Examples of weakly typed languages are Perl and Rexx. What is strongly typed in C? Answered Aug 10, When we say something is strongly typed we mean that the type of the object is known and available to use. We can say C storngly typed, for example you can not do any airthmatic operation between two different type of variables eg, String vs Integer. What is a dynamic typed language?
Dynamically typed languages. A language is dynamically-typed if the type of a variable is checked during run-time. Dynamic type checking typically results in less optimized code than static type checking. Is C statically typed? In these languages all variables must be declared to be of a specific type.
Is Swift a dynamic language? Swift itself, is statically typed. When used with Cocoa, you get access to the objective-c runtime library which gives you the ability to use dynamic classes, messages and all. This doesn't mean the language itself is dynamically typed. Is C typed? C is not strongly typed. Because Groovy does not require you to declare your variables, it creates a new variable called numbr and assigns it the value number should have. Statically typed is a programming language characteristic in which variable types are explicitly declared and thus are determined at compile time.
This lets the compiler decide whether a given variable can perform the actions requested from it or not. Static typing associates types with variables, not with values. Ruby is a dynamically typed language, which means the interpreter tries to infer the data type of variables and object properties at runtime. Static typing makes the development experience much smoother. Bugs are far easier to detect, especially with modern IDEs and their linting as you write. Duck typing is a concept related to dynamic typing, where the type or the class of an object is less important than the methods it defines.
When you use duck typing, you do not check types at all. Instead, you check for the presence of a given method or attribute. In fact, duck typing is the way of implementing the concept of Interfaces in JavaScript. What is the use of duck typing? Explanation: In Python, any set of classes with a common set of methods can be treated similarly. This is called duck typing. Hence duck typing imposes less restrictions.
Which among the following best describes polymorphism? The word polymorphism indicates many-forms. So if a single entity takes more than one form, it is known as polymorphism.
Overriding is about same method, same signature but different classes connected through inheritance. Overloading is an example of compiler-time polymorphism and overriding is an example of run time polymorphism. In this page you can discover 31 synonyms, antonyms, idiomatic expressions, and related words for override, like: make void, reverse, cancel, vote-down, abrogate, nullification, take no account of, annul, disregard, neglect and revoke.
A strong type system is a type system that has a compile-time restriction or run-time feature that you find attractive. A weak type system is a type system which lacks that restriction or feature. Term: Type Check A method of validation which checks that the data entered is of an expected type, e. Related Content: Database Validation. A strongly-typed programming language is one in which each type of data such as integer, character, hexadecimal, packed decimal, and so forth is predefined as part of the programming language and all constants or variables defined for a given program must be described with one of the data types.
C is statically typed, but it is also weakly typed. Strictly typed languages enforce typing on all data being interacted with. That means you are restricted to using with methods that work with integers. The only exception to this rule is that an integer may be given to a function expecting a float. A strongly typed language on the contrary wants types specified.
This is typical of compiled languages while famous dynamic languages like JavaScript, Python and Ruby are loosely typed.
