Certain things simply do not match. And just like the saying „square pegs in a round hole„, in static programming language you cannot dynamically change the variable type as you go. For example, C++ is a statically-typed language, which means that the type of a variable is known at compile time, and once you’ve declared a variable of a certain type, you cannot change its type during its lifetime.
For instance, languages like Python are dynamically typed, meaning that the type of a variable can change at runtime. Statically typed is determined at the compile time.
WHY Is It Important?
- Just being aware of the difference brings clarity to the way you are going to design your code.
NOWwhat?
- You have just learned a dynamic-static typing micro skill.
Unravel, don’t tangle.
