- eimrine 4y ago> weak typing Let me disagree! The type is always one, Number (not Int or Float).
- xigoi 4y agoNo. There are several numeric types: ℕ, ℤ, ℚ, ℝ, ℂ, … However, mathematicians nearly always implicitly convert between them because having explicit conversions all over the place would be extremely annoying and useless.
