Typed and untyped languages

   

The factual accuracy of this article is disputed. See the article's talk page for more information.


In computer science, some programming languages are typed and some are untyped. Regardless of static or dynamic checking, a language can be strongly typed or weakly typed. This article categorizes languages by a type system.

Static, strong

Static, weak

  • C (type declaration -- also, plenty of ways to get around the type-system and do something type-unsafe!)
  • C++ (type declaration -- has casts and implicit conversions though fewer than C)
  • Java (type declaration -- also has casting)

Dynamic, strong

Dynamic, weak

  • Perl (loves to do implicit conversions ....)
