type-checking

[mehak]

what is static and dynamic type checking in c++?

[Serious Sam]

I don't know about C++, and please someone correct me if what I say is wrong, but as far as I know:

Static type checking: The types of variables are determined at compile time. So the compiler knows for each variable what type that variable is.

Dynamic type checking: The types of variables are determined at run time. For example, python doesn't require you to declare types for variables. In python, something like

a=3

is fine, while in C++ you'd have to write:

int a=3;
