Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A programming language where the type of variable is known only at run time.
A
Statically Typed
B
Dynamically Typed
C
Compiled Language
D
Interpreted Language
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Conversely, in dynamically typed languages, type checking takes place at runtime or execution time. This means that variables are checked against types only when the program is executing. Some examples of programming languages that belong to this category are Python, JavaScript, Lisp, PHP, Ruby, Perl, Lua, and Tcl.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term dynamic typing means that a compiler or an interpreter assigns a type to all the variables at run-time. The type of a variable is decided based on its value. The programs written using dynamic-typed languages are more flexible but will compile even if they contain errors.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two main differences between dynamic typing and static typing that you should be aware of when writing transformation scripts. First, dynamically-typed languages perform type checking at runtime, while statically typed languages perform type checking at compile time.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dynamic typing means that the type of the variable is determined only during runtime. Due to strong typing, types need to be compatible with respect to the operand when performing operations. For example Python allows one to add an integer and a floating point number, but adding an integer to a string produces error.

Detailed explanation-5: -Strong typing means that variables do have a type and that the type matters when performing operations on a variable. Dynamic typing means that the type of the variable is determined only during run time.
