And I won't be surprised that ten years from now, everybody will see the evolution from weak-typed to strong-typed search as a natural one. In exactly the same way we see today the benefits of strong typing in modern programming languages... Comments Anonymous January 17, 2005 please i...
Strong vs. Weakdefines how flexibly a language allows operations between data types. For example, strongly typed languages will not allow you to add afloatto aninteger, without you converting it first, even though they are both numbers. On the other hand, a weak language will try its best ...
Typing strength is a continuum;MLis more strongly typed thanJava, which is more strongly typed thanC. Strong or weak typing is independent of the choice betweenstatic typinganddynamic typing. Among strongly typed languages,Ada,Java,HaskellandMLare statically typed, whereasPythonandRubyare dynamically...
