Static vs Dynamic Typing

There are 2 separate concepts to understand:

1. Strong vs Weak - Can variables change type?
   • Strong says no.
   • Weak says yes.
2. Static vs Dynamic - When do we check variable type?
   • Static checks at compile time.
   • Dynamic checks at runtime.

Examples

	💪 Strong	😖 Weak
🥶 Static	Java, C++	?
👟 Dynamic	Python, Ruby	JavaScript, PHP
