Following are the key differences between dynamically and statically typed languages:
|
STATICALLY TYPED LANGUAGE
|
DYNAMICALLY TYPED LANGUAGE
|
|
Variable data type explicitly defined at compile time
Example:
int myvar1 = 3;
|
Variable data type not defined at compiled time
Example:
$myvar2 = 3;
var myvar2= 3;
|
|
Data types are checked at the time of code compilation
|
Date Types are checked at the time of code execution based on the assigned
value
|
|
Assigning value to variable other than the specified data-type raises
an error.
For example, if we try to assign a string value to myvar1, the
command will execute with an error.
|
Assigning value of any data-type to the variable is allowed.
For example if we try to assign a string value to myvar2, the command
will execute without any error.

Some examples of statically typed programming language:
C++, C#, Java
|
Some examples of dynamically typed programming language:
PHP, JavaScript, Python
