More likely this kind of “typed”:

Where “typed” here likely implies “strongly typed”.

- fsloth 4y agoI guess in this case it’s a homonym for both as C is sometimes a bit verbose :D
- s-macke 4y agoExactly, I mean more "strongly typed". The opposite is JavaScript, which is weakly typed. When speed matters and every bit is important, it is a bad idea to write an emulator in a weakly typed language. I have corrected the text.
- forgotpwd16 4y agoC, although statically typed, is considered weakly typed as well.
- trynewideas 4y ago"Strong" and "weak" are ambiguous terms for typing. OP is using it one way (static typing is "stronger" than dynamic typing; static typing is "strength"). I'm assuming a little bit here, but I think you're using it another way (allowing type casting is "weak"; type safety is "strength").
- ledauphin 4y agoA more precise term would be statically typed. Types are checked at compile time. C has a fairly "weak" type system. congrats on getting the Easter egg!
