In a Strongly Typed Language?

A strongly-typed programming language is one in which each type of data (such as integer, character, hexadecimal, packed decimal, and so forth) is predefined as part of the programming language and all constants or variables defined for a given program must be described with one of the data types.

What does it mean to say that Python is a strongly typed language?

Python is both a strongly typed and a dynamically typed language. Strong typing means that variables do have a type and that the type matters when performing operations on a variable. ... For example Python allows one to add an integer and a floating point number, but adding an integer to a string produces error.

Why is strongly typed language better?

The advantage of strongly typed languages is that the compiler can detect when an object is being sent a message to which it does not respond. This can prevent run-time errors. The other advantages of strong typing are: earlier detection of errors speeds development.
