Editing Typing (section)

== No vs. weak vs. strong typing ==

* No typing: The language has no notion of types, or from a typed perspective: There is exactly one type in the language. Assembly language has only the type 'bit pattern', Rexx and Tk have only the type 'text', core MatLab has only the type 'complex-valued matrix'.
* Weak typing: There are only few distinguished types and maybe [[type synonym]]s for several types. E.g. C uses integer numbers for booleans, integers, characters, bit sets and enumerations.
<!-- Is object orientiation weak typing, because everything is considered to be an object? Java? Smalltalk? -->
* Strong typing: Fine grained set of types like in Ada, Wirthian languages (Pascal, Modula-2), Eiffel
