Type System
A type system is a set of rules in a programming language that assigns types to values and expressions and governs how they may be combined, catching certain classes of errors before or during execution.
Static Typing
Static typing is a language approach in which the types of variables and expressions are known and checked at compile time, before the program runs, catching type errors early.
Compilation
Compilation is the process of translating source code written in a programming language into a lower-level form, such as machine code or bytecode, that a machine or runtime can execute.
Interpretation
Interpretation is the execution of a program by directly reading and running its source code or an intermediate representation, statement by statement, without first compiling it to native machine code.
