Dynamically typed language
What is a dynamically typed language?
Before we understand a dynamically typed language, we should learn about what typing is. Typing refers to type-checking in programming languages.
- In a strongly-typed language, such as Python, "3" + 2 will result in a type error since these languages don't allow for implicit conversion of data types.
- On the other hand, a weakly-typed language like Java, C++, will simply output "32" as result. Type-checking can be done at two stages
- Static - Data Types are checked before execution.
- Dynamic - Data Types are checked during execution.
- Python is an interpreted language, executes each statement line by line and thus type-checking is done on the fly, during execution. Hence, Python is a Dynamically Typed Language.
