A type in programming refers to a set of values that a particular data structure or object can take. In statically typed languages, the type of a variable is predetermined and the compiler enforces constraints on its values. This means that the validity of the program is checked before execution. On the other hand, dynamically typed languages tag values with types during runtime, allowing for greater flexibility in type handling. The program checks the type tags of values as they are used to determine how they should be processed.
