Static and Dynamic typing are ways programming languages handle variable types.
Static checks types before running the program;
Dynamic checks types while running it.
Static Typed Language :
- Variable have fixed types and types should be declared.
- Checking the type at compile time.
- Many error caught during compiling time.
- It gives better performance because it's optimized due to known types and it's generally faster.
- Code is more predictable, types remains constant, improving coding reliability.
- It has less flexible.
- Examples of Programming Languages are Java, C, C++, Kotlin, Rust
Dynamic Typed Language :
- Variable types are determined and checked while the program runs.
- Variables can be assigned without declaring data types.
- It caught more runtime error.
- It gives slower performance because extra work is needed at runtime to manage types.
- Less syntax and setup required for simple programs.
- It has more flexible.
- Examples of Programming Languages are JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP
Conclusion :
Choosing between static and dynamic typed language depends on project needs.
Static offers better performance and safety, while dynamic offers flexibility and ease of use.
