Dynamic Typing

Dynamic typing is an important programming concept which states that the data type of a variable is determined at runtime (during program execution). This makes programming simpler and more flexible because you do not need to decide in advance what type of data will be stored in a variable. In contrast, in static typing, the data type of a variable is decided in advance, and storing a different type of data will result in an error.

Dynamic typing means that when you assign a value to a variable, the program automatically recognizes the type of that variable. This means you do not need to declare the variable's type beforehand.

Advantages: Flexibility, less boilerplate code, rapid prototyping, and fewer initial type errors.

Disadvantages: Risk of runtime errors, potential performance issues, reduced code readability in large projects, and lack of type safety.
