Dynamically Typed Languages
Dynamically typed languages are programming languages where variable types are determined and checked at runtime rather than compile-time. This means developers do not need to explicitly declare types for variables, and the same variable can hold values of different types during execution. Examples include Python, JavaScript, Ruby, and PHP, which offer flexibility and rapid development but may lead to runtime errors if type mismatches occur.
Developers should learn dynamically typed languages for scenarios requiring quick prototyping, scripting, web development, and data science, as they reduce boilerplate code and allow for faster iteration. They are particularly useful in agile environments, small to medium-sized projects, or when working with frameworks like Django or React, where flexibility and developer productivity are prioritized over strict type safety.
