Can you explain what is meant by dynamic typing in programming?

Answer from AI

Dynamic type determination means that the type of a variable is determined at runtime, not at compile time. In languages with dynamic typing, such as Python, a variable can refer to objects of different types at different times, and the programmer is not required to explicitly specify the type.

For example, in Python, you can write:

x = 10      # x is an integer
x = 'text'  # now x is a string

This is convenient for rapid development and flexibility, but requires attentiveness to avoid type errors during execution.
