What is a strictly typed language? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Languages where variables must be declared to contain a specific type of data.

If your variable declarations look like:

String myString = "Fred";

then your language is strictly typed, variable "myString" is explicitly declared to contain only string data.

If the following works:

x = 10;
x = "Fred";

then it's loosely typed (two different types of data in the same variable and scope).
