Static Typing

Static typing is a programming language feature where variable types are explicitly declared and checked at compile-time, before the code runs. This contrasts with dynamic typing, where types are determined at runtime. It enforces type safety by catching type-related errors early in the development process.

Also known as: Statically-typed languages, Static type systems, Compile-time typing, Type-safe languages, Explicit typing

🧊Why learn Static Typing?

Developers should use static typing in scenarios requiring high reliability, maintainability, and performance, such as large-scale enterprise applications, systems programming, or safety-critical software. It reduces runtime errors, improves code documentation through explicit types, and enables better tooling support like autocompletion and refactoring in IDEs.
