Dynamic typing
Dynamic typing is a programming feature where the type of a variable is determined automatically when the program runs. This means you can assign different types of data—such as numbers, text, or objects—to the same variable during the program’s execution without needing to specify its type explicitly beforehand. For example, a variable can start as a number and then later hold a piece of text. This flexibility simplifies coding but requires the programmer to be attentive to ensure the variable is used consistently to avoid errors.
