It began with the ancient Indians in 600 BC who gave the concept of “Parmanu” to Greeks who first proposed that matter was made up of tiny, indivisible particles.

Strong and Weak Type Systems

A strongly typed system is one that does not allow the conversion of data types during execution, in case there is a mismatch. For instance, if “18” is presented for an integer variable instead of 18, the system raises an error. Perl, Ruby, Python and Pascal are...
