Type Safety

Type safety is a concept in computer programming that refers to the ability of a programming language to detect and prevent type errors. A type error occurs when an attempt is made to perform an operation on a value that is not of the expected type. For example, in a strongly typed language like Java, an attempt to add a string to an integer will result in a type error. In contrast, a weakly typed language like JavaScript will allow such an operation, and the result will be a string concatenation rather than an arithmetic addition.

Why learn Type Safety?

There are several reasons why one may want to learn about type safety. First, it can help you write more robust and reliable code. Type errors can lead to unexpected behavior and program crashes, so preventing them can help you avoid these problems. Second, type safety can help you improve the readability and maintainability of your code. Code that is type-safe is easier to understand and follow, which can make it easier to maintain and debug.
