Type-safe programming

Type-safe programming refers to writing code in a way that ensures variables and data types are used correctly, preventing errors during program execution. In type-safe languages, the programming environment checks that operations on data are appropriate for its type (e.g., not trying to add a number to a text string). This protection helps catch bugs early and enhances program reliability, making it easier for developers to maintain and understand their code. Essentially, type safety helps ensure that the programmer's intentions align with the way the programming language interprets their code.
