Answer from AI
In Python, dynamic typing means that the type of a variable is determined at runtime, not beforehand. This allows creating variables without explicitly specifying their type, and the type can change during the execution of the program.
For example, you can write:
x = 10 # x is an integer
x = 'text' # now x is a string
Features of dynamic typing in Python:
- Object types are fixed, but variables are references to objects, and they can point to objects of different types.
- There is no need to declare the type of a variable.
- Type errors are detected only at runtime.
- It allows writing more flexible and concise code.
However, it requires attentiveness, as type-related errors are not detected at compile time.
