Multiple issues unreferenced August 2009 essay like January 2009 Merge to Strong and weak typing date November 2010 type systems In computer science , weak typing a.k.a. loose typing is a property attributed to the type system s of some programming language s. It is the opposite of strong typing , and consequently the term weak typing has a number of different meanings, just as strong typing does. One of the more common definitions states Which date May 2011 that weakly typed programming languages are those that support either implicit type conversion nearly all languages support at least one implicit type conversion , ad hoc polymorphism computer science polymorphism also known as overloading or both. These less restrictive usage rules can give the impression that strict adherence to typing rules is less important than in strongly typed languages and hence that the type system is weaker . However, such languages usually have restrictions on what programmers can do with value computer science values of a given datatype type thus it is possible for a weakly typed language to be Type safety type safe . Moreover, weakly typed languages may be statically typed , in which case overloading is resolved statically and type conversion operations are inserted by the compiler, or dynamically typed, in which case everything is resolved at run time. One claimed advantage of weak typing over strong typing is that it requires less effort on the part of the programmer because the compiler or interpreter implicitly performs certain kinds of conversions. However, one claimed disadvantage is that weakly typed programming systems catch fewer errors at compile time and some of these might still remain after testing has been completed. Sometimes implicit conversion occurs which will surprise unwary programmers and lead to unexpected bugs. For example, in PHP, the strings 1000 and 1e3 compare ... as strings.

Mergeto Type system Explicit or implicit declaration and inference date August 2009 Type systems In computer science, manifest typing is when the software programmer explicitly identifies the type of each variable being declared. For example if variable X is going to store integers then its type must be declared as integer. In contrast, some programming languages use implicit typing a.k.a. type inference where the type is deduced from context or allow for Type system Dynamic typing dynamic typing in which the variable is just declared and may be assigned a value of any type at runtime. Examples Consider the following example written in the C programming language C programming language source lang c include stdio.h int main void char s Test String float x 0.0 int y 0 printf Hello World n return 0 source Note that the variables s , x , and y were declared as a character array, floating point number, and an integer, respectively. The type system rejects, at compile time, such fallacies as trying to add s and x . In contrast, in Standard ML , the types are not explicitly declared. Instead, the type is determined by the type of the assigned expression. let val s Test String val x 0.0 val y 0 in print Hello World n end There are no manifest types in this program, but the compiler still infers the types code string code , code real code and code int code for them, and would reject the expression code s x code as a compile time error.

merge Strong and weak typing date October 2011 type systems In computer science and computer programming , a type system is said to feature strong typing when it specifies one or more restrictions on how operations involving values of different data type s can be intermixed. The opposite of strong typing is weak typing . Interpretation Most generally, strong typing implies that the programming language places severe restrictions on the intermixing that is permitted to occur, preventing the compiler compiling or running of source code which uses data in what is considered to be an invalid way. For instance, an addition operation may not be used with an integer and string values a procedure which operates upon linked list s may not be used upon numbers.

Orphan date March 2012 The idea of one hand typing is to only use one hand e.g. the left one and type typical the other hand e.g. right hand letters. Its history and application are closely related to keyboard research on QWERTY and Dvorak Simplified Keyboard . Type with one hand can be done in a number of ways, and novel approaches are still emerging. People handle this situation in different ways and the solution depends on whether it s a temporary condition, as well as the pupil s physical abilities, muscle strength, cognition and memory, etc. Therefore existing approaches may fit different expectations. Benefits and Drawbacks One hand typing while another hand holding a cup of coffee is sometimes desirable by many typist. It can be useful during very frequent switching between keyboard and mouse or if the typist makes notes while using one hand for other task. However, often one handed keyboard typing is rather slow and as only one hand is being used it can also be quite tiring. Principles of operation Using Standard PC Keyboard Spacebar as Modifier The idea is to only use one hand preferably the left one and type typical right hand letters by holding the space key with your thumb which then mirrors the right side to the left one. Thus you re using the same finger on the left hand which you would use on the right hand to type that key. There are several hardware and software available, e.g. http www.matias.ca halfkeyboard Half Keyboard , and a free Autohotkey script http www.autohotkey.com forum viewtopic.php?t 1326&postdays 0&postorder asc&start 135 half QWERTY . Hand homeposition on FGHJ Using a standard keyboard, the one handed typist must move from side to side to cover all the keys. Ideally, this typist should keep his good hand on fghj, a new home position in the center of the board, but he will inevitably be forced to leave the home keys or stretch like a concert ...
