Data typing in programming describes how a language handles and checks data types. Main types of typing:

  • Static typing — variable types are defined and checked during compilation (e.g., C, Java).

  • Dynamic typing — types are determined at runtime (e.g., Python, JavaScript).

  • Strong typing — the language strictly controls operations with types, disallowing implicit conversions (e.g., Python).

  • Weak typing — the language allows implicit conversions between types (e.g., JavaScript).

  • Explicit typing — the programmer explicitly specifies the variable type.

  • Implicit typing — the type is automatically inferred by the compiler or interpreter.

In Python, for example, dynamic and strong typing coexist: types are checked at runtime, and no implicit conversions occur between incompatible types.
