Hello Friends,
I was reading a description about statically and strongly typed language.
It said:

Quote:
1)Statically Typed Language:
Languages in which the data types are defined explicitly.
Types are fixed during compile time.

Quote:
Strongly Typed Language:
The type is enforced here.
Suppose i give an integer value to the variable then it will be an integer i will have to convert it to string by explicitly converting it.

So whats the difference between the 2. Because in both we will know the type.
Can a statically typed language be a weakly typed language?

Thanks,
-Rahul

In Statically typed Language, compiler knows at the compile time with the explicit type defined to that variable.

In Strongly typed language, memory allocation defines at the run time I guess by knowing it's value and once memory is allocated for that type then to allocate memory for another data type, we need to explicitly convert it.
