Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - Static Versus Dynamic

The video tutorial discusses the differences between dynamic and static typing in programming languages, focusing on TypeScript and JavaScript. It explains how errors are handled at runtime in dynamic languages and at compile-time in static languages. The tutorial highlights the advantages of dynamic languages, such as JavaScript, in web development, allowing applications to fail gracefully without disrupting user experience. It also covers the characteristics of programming languages, including strong vs weak typing and dynamic vs static typing, and mentions the transition of web development towards TypeScript for better error management.

What is a key characteristic of dynamic languages regarding error detection?

• Errors are detected at compile time.

• Errors are detected at runtime.

• Errors are never detected.

• Errors are detected during code writing.

In the context of TypeScript, what happens when you try to assign a number to a string variable?

• The code editor ignores the error.

• The code editor automatically converts the number to a string.

• The code editor flags an error.

• The code runs without any issues.

Why is JavaScript considered a weakly typed language?

• It does not support type conversions.

• It allows type conversions without errors.

• It requires explicit type declarations.

• It only supports string types.

What is a benefit of using dynamic languages in web development?

• They prevent all errors from occurring.

• They improve application speed.

• They allow applications to fail gracefully.

• They require less code to write.

How do dynamic languages handle errors differently from static languages?

• They convert errors into warnings.

• They prevent errors from occurring.

• They log errors in the console without user disruption.

• They display errors to the user immediately.

Which of the following is an example of a strong and static language?

• JavaScript

• PHP

• Swift

• Python

What distinguishes a strong language from a weak language?

• Weak languages require explicit type declarations.

• Strong languages enforce strict type rules.

• Weak languages enforce strict type rules.

• Strong languages allow implicit type conversions.
