  • If type checking is not present in a language, it can produce erroneous results. Programs terminated unexpectedly.
  • The type checking can be done either at compile time or run time. Type checking at run time means the type of parameters is checked during the compilation of the program.
  • While type checking at run time means that the type of parameters is checked at the run time...
