Static Programming
Static programming refers to a programming paradigm where the behavior and structure of a program are determined at compile-time rather than at runtime. It involves static typing, where variable types are explicitly declared and checked before execution, and often includes static analysis tools to detect errors early. This approach contrasts with dynamic programming, where types and behaviors are resolved during program execution.
Developers should learn static programming to build more reliable, maintainable, and performant software, especially in large-scale or safety-critical applications like financial systems, embedded devices, or enterprise software. It helps catch type errors, null pointer issues, and other bugs during compilation, reducing runtime failures and improving code quality through early validation and optimization.
