COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -In dynamically typed languages, such as Ruby and JavaScript, there are no predefined data types for the interpreter to understand how to proceed in case a forbidden operation happens during runtime. That is the opposite of what’s expected from static typing.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ruby is a dynamic language, which means that types are checked when the code is run. If you try to call a method on an object that does not exist, the compiler will not complain, you’ll only find out about that error when the code is executed and you get a NoMethodError .

Detailed explanation-3: -Dynamic typing Dynamically typed languages include Groovy, JavaScript, Lisp, Lua, Objective-C, Perl (with respect to user-defined types but not built-in types), PHP, Prolog, Python, Ruby, Smalltalk and Tcl.

Detailed explanation-4: -Smalltalk, Ruby, Python, and Self are all “strongly typed” in the sense that typing errors are prevented at runtime and they do little implicit type conversion, but these languages make no use of static type checking: the compiler does not check or enforce type constraint rules.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Benefits of Types for Ruby Developers As part of that mandate, we believe that static typing has a lot to offer for Ruby developers, especially when working on big, complex codebases.
